TEXTILES: WAKERLEY, NORTHANTS. ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY.
Author(s): E Crowfoot
This small collection ot textile remains from an Anglo- Saxon cemetery, though fairly typical and in most cases mineralised, includes one unique weave preserved on the metal of a shield boss in a man's grave. The technique of this reversible weft-float pattern, probably on an imported coverlet or hanging, perhaps shows an early connection with the development in the Middle East of more advanced looms.
