As far as the one for the East, I don't know if the overall pattern is
period or not. It was the work of three people - I did the embroidery, which is
wool on linen using period stitches (primarily outline/stem and split stitch
as I recall) and colors which were noted as popular on Norse things where the
color could be identified. The beast is the Eastern Tyger modified to look
more like one of the more famous Norse gripping beast carvings (dang, can't
remember which one) with twining foliage around it.
Another person did the shaping of the pieces, and I do not know what his
inspiration was. The third did the carving on the end pieces which were also
based on extant Norse artwork.
