A unique, hand-made, modern stylised re-interetation of Cotton MS Tiberius 6.v., 56V, (now housed at the British Library, London) - a map of the world according to the Anglo-Saxons, probably from Canturbury, c.1025-1050 (the Dark Ages, also known as Early Middle Ages or the Viking Age). This piece: Ink, paint, pigment and dyes on leather, strung on a wooden frame using leather thonging, modern but distressed to appear ancient. The inks, dyes and paints were all hand made for this unique project. Only the cinnabar vermillion used for the Arabian waters was commercially sourced. Designed as if used in a campaign tent, during a war between Anglo-Saxons and Normans or Vikings. Dimensions (including frame) : W: 80cm (31.5in); H: 90cm (35.5in).
