Abstract (en)

Discusses a selection from over 160 tapestries still in existence in Norway, focusing on the relationship between theme and function. Notes that almost all the biblical themes, many from the Song of Solomon, are in one way or another related to marital scenes. Points out that the tapestries were used as bed coverlets, never as wall hangings, in connection with wedding ceremonies.
