Her skeletal remains and place of exhumation helped in reconstructing a life-sized 3D model.
about Tora, so archeologists put together a story about the medieval woman purely based on her skeletal remains and where her body was exhumed.
"Since Tora lived to be roughly 65, which is considered rather old for the period, we do believe that she must have lived a somewhat good life for her time, "Grav toldGrav and her team found a spinal deformity in Tora's skeleton, which led them to believe that Tora had a hunched back. To the archaeologists, the bend in Tova's back and her missing teeth hinted at "signs of hard work and lifelong wear on the skeleton," Grav told.
"Nille Glæsel, an experienced dressmaker of Viking and medieval dresses [based in Norway], made Tora's dress for us using medieval techniques," Grav said. "She spun the yarn, weaved the fabric in, and colored it with[also known as rose madder]. Then she hand-sewed the dress after Vedeler's [Marianne Vedeler, a textile professor in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Oslo] reconstruction.
All credit for making Tora look lifelike goes to Thomas Foldberg, a Denmark-based film industry makeup artist. Foldberg solely relied on Tora's skeleton, and not X-rays or CT scans, to create a 3D model. According to Grav, Foldberg even "hand-painted liver stains and other spots." Tora's kind eyes and friendly expression are sure to make you notice her. "it was very important for us to give the audience a feeling of a warm meeting, to better connect [them] with the medieval human. People always tend to think the medieval ages were dark and heavy, but there was also joy and happiness, people loved each other, and some even lived a long life. Tora's life was hard, but she must have had good days as well.
