Note to Neri Frag 1VIII (Gautr 7)

[2] á tjöldum ‘on the wall-hangings’: The noun tjald usually refers to an awning on a ship or a wall-hanging or tapestry in a hall. The prose text of Gautr states (Gautr 1900, 38): Ǫll hǫll jarls var búin með skjǫlldum, svó at hverr tók annan, þar sem þeir vóru uppfestir ‘The whole of the jarl’s hall was decorated with shields, so that each overlapped another where they were suspended’.
