Analyses of the Birka fragments have found traces of it on many pieces, including ordinary clothing. But another, far more expensive red was also in circulation: kermes, extracted from insects gathered in the Mediterranean. Its presence on a Norse textile immediately signals an object brought from abroad or a piece of very high rank — color served as a social marker as much as an ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo go further:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/tatouage-viking-homme-bras-idees-symboles\" title=\"Viking Arm Tattoos for Men: 50 Ideas and Symbols\"\u003eour guide to Norse motifs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bandana-viking-roue-solaire-noir\" title=\"Black Viking Sun Wheel Bandana\"\u003eBlack Viking Sun Wheel Bandana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bandana-viking-yggdrasil-dore-noir\" title=\"Black and Gold Yggdrasil Viking Bandana\"\u003eBlack and Gold Yggdrasil Viking Bandana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bandana-viking-vegvisir-anthracite\" title=\"Charcoal Viking Vegvísir Bandana\"\u003eCharcoal Viking Vegvísir Bandana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"One size","offer_id":57897035694462,"sku":"14:10#5;5:200003528#Working Cap","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/bandana-viking-medaillon-rouge-noir-ambiance.jpg?v=1787425813","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/bandana-viking-medaillon-rouge-noir","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
