Beowulf Tapestries
Description: Based on the handwriting in the Nowell Codex, I have recreated in my own style the iconic opening word to the epic poem Beowulf. Sometimes translated as "listen", "what ho", "hear me", "attend", or "so" there is, overall, no consensus as to meaning. I have also created a-- much simplified-- version of an Anglo-Saxon sword to represent Hrunting, the sword Beowulf uses in battle against Grendel's mother.

An adapted translation from a great line in the epic Anglo-Saxon poem, Beowulf - "Mead Bench Wrecker, Rampager Among Warriors". The quote was too good to leave out!
