Location: Sweden, Scania, Torna district
Materials: dove-tail tapestry
Dimensions: 50 x 52.5 cm and 51.5 x 51.5 cm
Accession Number: SW 80
Other Notes:
As part of the dowry, a pair of small covers were woven. It is unusual to find a pair still together; on those shown here, the designs of each appear to be almost identical. Examples from other wedding sets are illustrated elsewhere on this website in items SW 30, SW 2, and SW 23.
