I am also trying to track the silver monted coconut-bowl which were among
the items Ivar Bardson delivered from Vinland as part of the tithes from
Vinland. It may take some time to put all the lines from Stavanger to Rome
together here. Seems as if it might have been sold in Flandern but I really
hope not. More as soon as I have followed that one up.


Coconut bowl? Where can we read about this?

The Vikings were well known to trade goods with the people of Turkey.
They came down the rivers in Russia.

Coconuts last a long time and likely were stores on long trips once traded for.
