This striking rigid heddle loom is crafted from rich, walnut wood and adorned with intricately carved beast knotwork at both the top and bottom. The interlacing animal motifs draw inspiration from Viking Age art styles, echoing the designs found on artifacts and carvings unearthed from Norse burial sites and settlements.
Functional and decorative, this loom is a perfect tool for weaving narrow bands, straps, and trims, just as Vikings once did for their clothing and gear. Its solid construction and detailed carvings make it not only a working piece of equipment but also a display-worthy object steeped in historical character.
- Material: walnut wood
- Carved with beast knotwork motifs inspired by Viking art

Historical Note: Similar weaving tools have been found across Viking Age Scandinavia, showing the importance of textile production in everyday Norse life. Band weaving was essential for creating decorative and functional straps used in clothing, belts, and even fastening armor.
