Description
This is sooooo interesting! Most of us don’t have access to Viking artifacts (that feels safe to assume anyway) in our back yard. With crisp, color photos and interesting text, this really is like walking through a museum. Some items are special and ceremonial, while others are more ordinary for their time. There is even a page showing a photo of coprolite (petrified excrement) which provided important scientific information about their diet. It’s on page 21 if you want to know. This would be an amazing resource for your history bookshelf. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Vikings Pocket Museum
The culture of the Viking world speaks of both violence and of beauty. This extensively illustrated volume brings together nearly 200 carefully chosen artifacts that reflect the art and daily life of Viking-Age Europe and the North Atlantic. It includes both iconic items and finds from recent excavations, providing a visual guide to the early-medieval Scandinavian world.
Highlights include Norway’s famous ship burials, the only complete example of a Viking helmet, and the treasures looted from the monasteries of Britain, Ireland, and continental Europe. Equally important are the less familiar fragments of everyday life: a brooch, a woolen sock, even a loaf of bread. The juxtaposition of the outstanding and the everyday makes this volume unique in its field. Featuring sumptuous close-up photographs to best showcase its comprehensive collection of exquisite artifacts, Pocket Museum: Vikings is an informative introduction for newcomers to Viking history that also provides new insights for those familiar with the subject.
