Viking Tent - Red and White

The basic design of this tent is drawn from the extant remains of tents uncovered during the excavation of the Gokstad and Oseberg 'Viking' ship (dated around 800 AD) burials during the the period 1880-1905. While the remains of the latter have since deteriorated, original archeological catalogs provide information on the basis of the construction. Examples of the vertical gable board from the Gokstad also suggest a more prolific nature of the tent design throughout Norway and perhaps greater Scandinavia, as well as providing another splendid example of the distinctive craftsmanship and animal motifs of 'Viking age' Scandinavian art.

This tent alternates red & white panels on each side.
Entry and end triangle pieces are red.
Tent alternates 7 panels - red (burgundy) and white.
