Gutentag,
...I have uploaded some material on the 'Urnenfeldzeit' Grundfeld (grave 165) costume elements, and have a few important questions I hope this forum can help answer:

Section A has been scanned from "Das Archaologische Jahr in Bayern 2005", and shows the remnants of a sash, a close-up photograph of a detail plus two schematic drawings, and what appears to be a reconstruction.
Section B shows (sketches for) my own reconstruction drawings based on this article.... but they are working from a lot that I believe is probably wrong.
I have reason to believe the reconstruction drawing in A is not a very good one. Because if you look at Johanna's likely very well researched reconstruction in section C, there are too many differences: she HAS thought about how to tie the sash, she shows the (probable) leather backing needed to attach the bronze buttons, and most notable, has given the sash much longer fringes...
My questions, therefore, are:
- Who understands- and can explain to me- the schematic drawings? Where do these details belong on the sash?
- How long were the fringes really?
Danke schön!
