The TUNICS project was conducted by Anne Kwaspen and was hosted by the Centre for Textile Research (CTR), Saxo Institute, UCPH, Denmark 2019-2021. For the TUNICS project a selection of 280 tunics and tunic fragments from eight European collections were analysed with regard to their general features and technical aspects of weaving.
