11th Century Anglo-Saxon Lady in Pink Tunic and Purple Draped Mantle This evocative image captures the essence of an Anglo-Saxon lady of the 11th century, dressed in the traditional attire of her time. The central focus of the photograph is a woman wearing a pink tunic or kirtle, which is fitted at the waist and falls to just above her ankles. Beneath this, a voluminous purple mantle is draped over her shoulders, adding an air of grandeur and elegance to her appearance. The lady's long hair is hidden from view by an orange head-rail or veil, which is artfully draped over her shoulders and secured at the back with a brooch or pin. The veil, also known as a coverchief or curtain, would have been an essential accessory for women of the Anglo-Saxon period, serving both functional and decorative purposes. The interior of the photograph reveals intricate details of the Anglo-Saxon costume, with the pink tunic featuring narrow sleeves and a high neckline, while the purple mantle is adorned with elaborate folds and pleats. The orange veil adds a pop of color to the otherwise muted color palette, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the image. The Anglo-Saxon period, which spanned from the 5th to the 11th centuries, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time, providing a valuable insight into the lives of these early European women. In summary, this photograph showcases an 11th-century Anglo-Saxon lady dressed in a pink tunic or kirtle, worn beneath a purple draped mantle, with an orange head-rail or veil covering her hair. The intricate details of the costume, as well as the use of vibrant colors, offer a captivating glimpse into the fashion and style of the Anglo-Saxon era.
