Which ones are your artwork?
De
The line drawings of the motifs on the Mammen page (10th c. Denmark).

Ah, I see. I remember the site that this info comes from.
Could this person have mistaken the rendering of the fragments as a
part of
the display of the fragments from the museum?
It would be hard to continue to be mistaken after the correspondence
we exchanged on the topic.
Did you get to see the fragments up close? The last drawing is
interesting
in that there isn't consistancy.
I'm working pretty much from published materials plus viewing the
"reconstructions" commissioned by the Danish National Museum (which
weren't intended to be reconstructions of the Mammen outfit itself)
-- the published photos are much clearer to make out than the actual
original fragments. The line drawings are redrawn from published
archaeological reports and tried to follow what can be seen of the
original layout, which as you note isn't always consistent. I'd be a
lot more torqued if it were creative work rather than technical
drawings, but it's the principle of the thing. (And for goodness
sake, the original archaeological reports on the Mammen find are old
enough that they're out of copyright, so it's not like any one
_needs_ to steal my art.)
