| Artifacts from Lake Lednica, Poland. |
I recently built a helmet from raw material, namely sheet metal and carpet tacks, which will be used in my short film "Sons of Romans, Sons of Vikings". The character who will be wearing it is Drogo FitzRolf, a Norman captain who wields a sword and ax in battle. The photo of the costume was inspired by a picture I found of 10th and 11th centuryartifacts from Poland. The nasal helm, sword, spear, and mail shirt were discovered in the lake of Lednica in Poland. The armor and weapons are part of a find of medieval settlement and fortification on an island in the lake called Ostrów Lednicki. ('Ostrów' means 'holm' (i.e., river or lake island).
