The IRM is always a good opportunity to take a first glimpse at a couple of "first-time-ever-presentations".

Since the IRM itself is not too big, these premieres will be only presented separately on this website. During the IRM itself, these pieces will be presented at the individual displays.

ZEITENSPRUNG'S NEW BIG PROJECT

Right in time for the IRM2014, Zeitensprung finished the new project: The trousers may look a little unimpressable at first sight, but were quite tricky nevertheless. The threads were spun in SZ-pattern, the fabric was hand woven and the trousers are hand sewn of course. The trourers might have been worn by a farmer from the Schleswig region around 800/900 AD.

Silvia Bestgen's Zeitensprung-Blog features a lot of posts about this topic. The youngests directs to the others: zeitensprung.blogspot.de/2014/03/groprojekt-hose.html (in German language).

The Zeitensprung's display at the IRM2014 is located in the last room of the Villa Borg's bath (Raum 9).
