frualeydis: (Vendela)

Reconstruction finished, photos taken.




Because we made it a reproduction according to the original proportions the sleeves are too wide in the lower arms, since Vendela is tall and skinny. I will remake the sleeves after the NESAT conference, right now I have no time.

Except for the sleeve issue, does she like it?

Yes. It's one of her favourite colours too.

Hello!
I was very amazed with this headwear. Maybe you could share some information about it? Are there any historical sources?
In hope, Alexandra.

She's only wearing a circlet of copper, you see quite a lot of circlets in High Medieval art, though usually more delicate and ornamented. Look for example in Grosse Heidelberger Liederhandschrift (http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848) from c. 1300. You may also, if you're lucky, find Ronald Lightbown's excellent and very beautiful book "Mediaeval European Jewellery" at a university library or order it via ILL:

Oh, I thought it was a leather headwear!
We usually use brass for circlets, that`s why I found it unusual. And I also hadn`t seen enough materials about it :)
Thanks!!
