It is 10cm wide and can be used as a calf wrap, belt or decorative border. The 7m band length is exactly enough for a couple of calf wraps.\u003cbr\u003e\n The ribbons with woven patterns were very\u003cbr\u003e \nCalf wraps were popular throughout the Middle Ages and even earlier. They were a status symbol and sometimes very elaborately worked. The edges, usually made in board weave, adorned the upper garment in hems and cutouts. Calf wraps (leg wraps, wrap leggings) were also made on narrow looms. They were an integral part of Germanic clothing and were wrapped from foot to knee over trousers and served as a replacement for socks. They not only warmed, but also protected the legs from injury. Both men and women wore calf wraps. Characteristic of diamond bodies (also \u003ci\u003ecalled diamond bodies\u003c\/i\u003e ) is the small offset diamond pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis connection is particularly evident when two different colours are used in the chain and weft. The weave makes the fabric crosswise elastic, so that calf wraps made of diamond bodies can be laid particularly beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\n This type of binding was often used, e.g. on the Thorsberg trousers (3rd century) or on the bearer's dress\u003cbr\u003e\n made in Birka, grave 973 (9th-10th century).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Details: - Material: 100% cotton - Dimensions: approx. 700 cm long, 10 cm wide - Available colours: brown\/natural, green\/light green - Care instructions: We recommend hand washing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BTT","offers":[{"title":"brown","offer_id":46983472054610,"sku":"EYM-Old-01079","price":27.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0826\/4786\/products\/envoltura-de-ternero-vikingo-banda-de-diamantes-7-m-de-largo-varios-colores-1280004600-espadasymas.jpg?v=1694307611","url":"https:\/\/espadasymas.com\/en-eu\/products\/envoltura-de-ternero-vikingo-banda-de-diamantes-7-m-de-largo-varios-colores-1280004600","provider":"Espadas y Más","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
