A röllakan cushion, probably Skåne, South Sweden,

the reverse in light ochre with a geometric design worked in supplementary brocading in shades of light blue and ivory  

This charming Swedish tapestry woven textile is formatted as an agedyna, a double cushion made for use in carriages on family outings.  The lightning-bolt, or vigg design is seen on some of the earliest cushions and is associated with Skåne production.  In this example the archaic zig-zag repeat has been adapted to form a column of serrated medallions along the central axis.  For an example of a traditional lightning-bolt agedyna see: Willborg, J. P., Skånsk Allmogevävnad 1700-1850, ex. cat., Stockholm, 1989, nos. 9 and 10.
