13th Barbette Cape Circlet Fillet Flowing Gown Loose Maiden Mantle Matron Ornamental Super Tabard Tunic Veil Worn C13th
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 13th century image from the annals of German history, both a maiden and a prince are depicted in their traditional attire, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the era. The woman wears a tabard-style super-tunic, or surcote, which is a loose-fitting garment worn over a gown. Her hair is worn long and flowing, adorned with an ornamental fillet, or circlet, and a veil covers her head, adding an air of mystery and allure. A barbette and fillet complete her ensemble, enhancing the refined look of her costume. The man, on the other hand, dons a simple tunic, which is worn with a mantle and a cape. The mantle is a large, draped garment that is worn over the shoulders, while the cape is a cloak that covers the body from the neck down. The prince's attire exudes a sense of power and authority, fitting for a ruler of the realm. The scene depicts a peaceful moment in time, with the maiden engrossed in a book, lost in thought, while the prince contemplates the weight of his responsibilities. The image captures the essence of the 13th century, a time of beauty, culture, and the blossoming of the European Middle Ages. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of medieval Germany and the intricate details of its fashion and lifestyle.
