Kingdom A&S entry

My attempt at recreating a 7th-century Merovingian Queen’s intricate silk tablet-woven band, originally found on the remains of Queen Bathilde at the monastery of Chelles. I’ve tried to replicate the weaving techniques, materials, and designs, making few adjustments to accommodate her resources and avoid inappropriate symbols.
