Thorsberg tunic (70-320 AD) - A digital reconstruction

The video presents a digital reconstruction of a tunic dating to 70-320 AD. The reconstructed tunic is from the war booty sacrifice at Thorsberg in northern Germany. The tunic (Archäologisches Landesmuseum Schleswig, inv. . 3683) is made from high quality woollen diamond twill cloth. Four panels make up the garment: one for the back and one for the front, and two for the sleeves. The front and back are not of the same length, the back being 90 cm long and the front only 86 cm. The neck opening is a cut-out oval-shape and measures 25.5 cm in width. The sleeves are straight until the elbow, from whereon they taper towards the wrists. The hems have a decorative tablet-woven band sewn onto the edges. The reconstruction was made by using the original cutting pattern. The panels were sewn together and put on the mannequin in Clo3D software, textured in Substance Painter and post-processed in 3dsMax. The authors of the reconstruction are Martijn A. Wijnhoven
