Mid status viking. Wode-dyed viborg-style linen shirt. Shirt is lined with light undyed linen for warmth. Geometric patterns in red silk attach the lining to the blue outer. Rear 'skirt' of the shirt is wider than the front, so comes around quite stylishly. Sleeves are longer than they need to be - here turned back as it's not cold. Trews is rough linen, with a madder-dyed pattern to them. Shield has thickened center and a saxon style boss found similar to those found in viking Dublin.
