1. VIKING CLOTHES AND JEWELLERY
By JESSICA STONEY

2. MENS CLOTHING
Men wore leather ankle boots/shoes or more rarely knee
boots. They wore thick woollen trouser held up with a tie
usually criss-cross with strips of leather or cloth. Men wore
a long shirt or under tunic, this was followed by a thick over
tunic made of the same material usually wool drawn in by a
belt. The belt was decorated by a buckle which was a
display of wealth. At the other end of the belt was a
decorated belt end. On his belt a man would wear a leather
pouch often decorated with runic symbols or other designs
in which he kept his personal possessions. He would also
carry both an eating knife and a working knife which was a
basic tool and in an emergency the first weapon.
They also wore a thick cloak pinned with a big brooch.
They wore leather or fur hats for extra protection.

4. WOMENS CLOTHING
Women wore a long dress of linen or wool with
a double apron front and back which was
pinned in position at the shoulders by
brooches. They too wore belts at the waist
which they hung their keys on as they were
the house key holders. The shoes that they
wore were softer and lower around the ankle.
Sometimes they were made out of sealskin
the fur offering waterproof protection.

6. JEWELLERY
The vikings loved jewellery. It was worn by both
men and women as a display of wealth. The
jewellery was made of copper, bronze, silver
or gold. They would wear necklaces of amber
and/or coloured glass beads. The glass was
imported from Germany to melt and recycle
into beautiful glass beads. Here are a few
examples on our next slide.
