WaterMammen
Here are some thematic photos of yesterday's Mammen weave, or as I call it, the "waterMammen"! 🍉
Here it sits over 10thc Swedish pattern herringbone wool tunic. The sword shown is a Peterson Type M, which have been found all over Sweden and Denmark dated to the 9th and 10th century, and this one was forged by the world-renowned Paul Binns.
The bow and arrow are fairly anachronistic in wood types (bow is tropical wood, arrow is bamboo I believe), but appropriate in design and appearance to the Viking Age, and neither are of my own making. The bow I have had for over a decade. Also, reenactment arrows must be made from cost effective materials because they frequently get destroyed when used!

I am very pleased with the look, finish, and function of this weave, and I hope it brings many years of fulfilling use to the friend who will soon wear it.
