Anglo-Saxon Men Pl. XIX: A Glimpse into the Wardrobe of the 9th and 10th Century Saxons This evocative image, Anglo-Saxon Men Pl. XIX from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the wardrobe of the Anglo-Saxons during the 9th and 10th centuries. The meticulously detailed costumes showcase the craftsmanship and intricacy of the clothing worn by these early English settlers. In the foreground, a man dons a green tunic, paired with pan-hose and shoes. The tunic, made of wool or linen, features a simple design with short sleeves and a hemline that falls just above the knee. The pan-hose, a type of leggings, are held up by a belt and are adorned with intricate embroidery. The shoes, with a central slit on the upper, are made of leather and are worn without socks. Another man is dressed in a tunic with a gold border and a front slit. The tunic, likely made for a warrior or nobleman, is richly decorated with gold threads and intricate patterns. The front slit allows for ease of movement, particularly during battle. The man wears a mantle, a long, rectangular piece of fabric draped over his shoulders, and leg bandages, which may have served both as protection and as a sign of status. Both men carry weapons, a spear and a sword, and wear buskins, high leather boots that extend above the knee. The cloak, made of wool or animal hide, is worn over the shoulders and is secured with a brooch. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and accessories of the Anglo-Saxons during a time of great cultural and historical significance.
