EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 8th century image from the annals of Anglo-Saxon history, a group of women are depicted in their traditional attire, showcasing the intricate layers and textures of their garments. The women wear tunics as the base layer, which are in turn covered by super-tunics or rocs and mantles. The rocs, long-sleeved garments, are worn over the tunics and reach down to the ankles, while the mantles, draped over the shoulders, serve as protective capes against the elements. The women's heads are adorned with head-rails or veils, which are carefully draped over their hair, necks, and shoulders. These coverchiefs, made of fine linen or wool, were an essential part of Anglo-Saxon women's daily attire, providing both functional and decorative purposes. The interior of the image reveals the intricate folds and textures of the fabrics, as well as the delicate embroidery and decorative details that adorn the garments. The Anglo-Saxon society placed great importance on clothing as a reflection of social status and wealth. The intricate layers and textures of the women's garments in this image suggest a high degree of craftsmanship and luxury, indicating that these women belonged to the upper echelons of Anglo-Saxon society. The use of drapery and interior folds adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image, transporting us back to the 8th century and offering a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of Anglo-Saxon fashion.
