These drawings are reproduced from the chronicles.

 Woven birchbark vessels.



Glass, ceramic and stone beads.

This is a piece of woven linen fabric that survived centuries in the clay earth of the Novgorod area.

 Weaving and spinning tools.

 A crocheted pouch.

 Drop spindles.

Baltic amber.





Beads from the 10-12th centuries, glazed bowl from the 14th century. 

 This is a photo from an archeological dig showing the layers of wooden roads. As one layer sunk into the ground, another was laid on top. 

 A model of part of Novgorod. The roads were one log length wide.

Part of a linen flag from the 13th century. It's amazing to me that fabrics survived that long.

Icons. 




I especially like the patterning in the fabric designs on the icons.
