Oseberg Tapestry Fragments: A Window into Viking Art

Original: Oseberg Tapestry Fragments

The Oseberg tapestry fragments are pieces of woven textile found in the Oseberg ship burial in Norway, a rich Viking-Age grave dated to around 834 AD and excavated in 1904. The fragments, depicting human and animal figures in processions, are among the most important surviving examples of Viking textile art and are held by Norwegian museums studying early medieval Scandinavian culture.

Why now: Renewed attention to Viking art and archaeology, likely sparked by discussion of the fragments' rarity and craftsmanship
