 Helge Ingstad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helge Ingstad was originally a lawyer by profession, but, ever an outdoorsman, he sold his successful law practice in Levanger and went to Canada's Northwest Territories as a trapper in 1926.
Ingstad was the governor of Erik the Red's Land in 1932–33, when Norway annexed that eastern part of Greenland.
Following the verdict, Ingstad was summoned by the government to the job as governor of Svalbard (Spitsbergen and the surrounding islands); a position suiting him uniquely, considering his profession of law and his experience in polar living.

Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad have described their archaeological work at L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, in paperback as a popular account of the evidence in support of the idea that Lief Erickson and other Nordic Greenlanders discovered and settled North America well before Christopher Columbus.
The Ingstads’ work has included the discovery of the L’Anse aux Meadows site in about 1953, apparently the culmination of his work, and then the excavation of that site from 1961 through 1968, her work, a remarkable pursuit of their scholarly goals over at least two decades.
Ann Stine Ingstad takes up the pen at that point to report the experience and the findings from the archaeological examination of the site.

The nature of the book is such that while the writers are all considered great authorities in their fields, there are several chapters where they speculate quite freely as to the purpose and background of what was found in the rich grave.
This chapter I have translated is one of those speculative ones, where Ingstad pushes a new theory of upper-class clothing in the area at the time.
While it is possible that the same material was used to edge both tunic/caftan and the apron-dress, I would be inclined to suspect that the loop belonged to a caftan (because of the size of the loop) with an oval neck line at the back.
