Skog tapestry

At the time, the tapestry was used as a cloth and was wrapped around a bridal crown in the attic of Skog Church.

It was in a poor shape and was sent for conservation to Stockholm, where it was professionally treated by Agnes Branting.

Using radiocarbon dating, researchers have concluded that the tapestry was made sometime between 1240 and 1410, and most probably during the late 13th century.

There is also a central structure in the tapestry which possibly depicts a church, which would rule out a pagan subject matter.

[3] The subject matter of the tapestry as a whole has been interpreted by some as a depiction of the struggle between paganism and Christianity.
