Our first Advent calendar post 2021 is:
A tablet found in Uppsala, Sweden. Dated to the late medieval period. It’s made of wood. We don’t know what kind of wood. It measures 6cm x 6 cm. The corners have been damaged over time and we guess it have been less round when it was new.
Today it can be found in the collections of the Swedish History museum.
We find this size very handy when weaving.

Was there textiles in the context, for example ribbons possibly made with this ‘disc’?
Nothing together with the actual piece
Do we know how thick the tablet is?
2-4 m
Millimetres
thanks!
