#FolkloreThursday: `Animals played an important role in the religion of the #Hallstatt period. The role of the #deer as a sacrificial #animal is clearly shown by the corresponding figural scene on the Strettweg cult wagon. Since deer are not suitable for riding or pulling wagons, we must consider that deer snaffles were used as part of religious rituals.`

„Heast as net“ von Hubert von Goisern ist so ein schönes Lied, dass ich jedes Mal fast weinen muss, wenn ich es höre. Gibt auch ein tolles Cover von Conchita Wurst.

I am currently weaving a reconstruction of the Hallstatt 126520 band (in different colours though), which was found in 2019 during excavations in the Hallstatt salt mine and probably dates back to the Early Iron Age/Celtic period. The band shows several seemingly random sequences of patterns, which makes it unique for this period, as the other known woven bands show a regular repeat of the same pattern.
