The Ronbjerg Tunic
Only about a quarter of the garment remains intact. The cut is similar to the Moselund kirtle, but unlike the other basic kirtles it has a seam up the centre front. Nockert speculates that this may mean that the garment was mi-parti. There has been no dye-analysis on the find to my knowledge to prove or disprove this theory. The fabric density varies slightly in the different pieces, but that means little. The fabric is a 2/2 twill, with a higher weft count than warp count. It is also woven from a darker warp and a lighter weft, similar to many of the Herjolfsnes garments which it also resembles in the cut.
