From the same team that brought you the 2017 calendars featuring garb of ancient Latvia: Irita Žeiere, prominent Latvian archaeologist and ancient textiles expert at the Division of Research and Reconstruction at the Latvian National History Museum, has written an introductory handbook for reenactors of Late Iron Age/Early Medieval chiefdoms of Latvia. Presuming no prior knowledge of the topic, the book offers extensive illustrations of the most significant textile finds along with advice about replicating them. Practical discussions of fabrics, metal ornaments, etc. address not only individual details, but offer a holistic approach to assembling complete kits that authentically represent the different ethnic groups that inhabited Latvia a millennium ago.
Illustrations by my friend and fabulous artist Linda Treija.

I am most pleased and satisfied with my purchase. As described, this book is a comprehensive and detailed reference that will be quite useful as I assemble my own ancient medieval Latvian folk costume to wear at future folk festivals. The seller was very helpful and kind to make certain I received the book in a timely manner as well as graciously offered suggestions and advice as I pursue this project. Thank you!
