EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 8th century print depicts a powerful Anglo-Saxon king dressed in the martial habit of the Saxon Military Dress C8. The king wears a chainmail shirt over a tunic and hose, signifying his readiness for battle. His armor bearer, dressed in a Phrygian cap, short tunic, hose, and girdle, stands beside him, holding a large shield and wielding a sword. The Phrygian cap, originating from ancient Anatolia, was a symbol of royalty and high status in the early medieval period. The intricate details of their costumes and accessories provide a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Anglo-Saxon civilization. The king's tunic, adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic skills of the time. The hose, worn by both the king and his armor bearer, are made of linen or wool and are held up by a girdle. The king's shield, likely made of wood and covered in leather or metal, is an essential piece of his armor. The sword, a symbol of power and strength, is held firmly in his hand, ready for battle. The armor bearer, an essential servant to the king, is also dressed for the occasion, ready to assist his master in any way necessary. This print, dating back to the 8th century, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a unique insight into the military and courtly life of the Anglo-Saxon period. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to influence our modern world.
