EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the 10th and 11th centuries, a time when Anglo-Saxon England was shaped by the interplay of Old English traditions and the influences of the Norse and Latin cultures. The two men depicted in this print are dressed in typical Anglo-Saxon attire, showcasing the short tunic with a girdle and a short vertical slit from the neck. The tunic, made from wool or linen, is a hallmark of the Anglo-Saxon period, with its simple design and practicality. The girdle, a belt worn around the waist, was used to hold the tunic in place and to secure various tools or weapons. The second man wears a similar short tunic, but with side vents and a broad embroidered border. The side vents, which allowed for greater freedom of movement, were a common feature in later Anglo-Saxon clothing. The embroidered border, a sign of wealth and status, adds a touch of elegance to the otherwise plain garment. Both men sport forked beards, a characteristic feature of Anglo-Saxon men during this period. Their heads are resting on a simple bed, covered by a blanket, suggesting a scene of relaxation or rest. While the exact context of this image remains unknown, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and fashion of Anglo-Saxon men during the 10th and 11th centuries.
