Abstract
A large medieval Finnish wool intarsia found in the belfry of Masku church in 1897, called the Masku
intarsia textile, underwent close structural analysis and material characterisation in 2016. The aim
was to make a recreation of the medieval intarsia textile, using plant-dyed wool, silver gilt membrane,
cotton fabric, silk yarn, and seam structures that were identified in the original textile. The aim was
to visualize the medieval textile as it was when new, and to showcase the medieval textile making processes in a museum context. The recreation project The Griffin and Peacock was hosted by textile enthusiasts in cooperation with the national Museum of Finland.
