Hardware Beneath Pavilion Shoulders in the Morgan Bible
From the Morgan Bible, 1240s, details of folios 9r, 10v, 27v, 34r and 42r. If there was a rigid hoop within the pavilion shoulder it would have been fairly straightforward to attach these brackets so they hung as shown here. If not, not.
I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament.
This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics. You can find my livejournal feed at Willscommonplac
