For comparison, the equally striking hats of the pagan Vikings in BL Harley MS 2278 f.47r :) http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=harley_ms_2278_f047r …pic.twitter.com/1CTMITXbUL
As the Vikings used to say, "If you want to get ahead, get a hat." And those are awesome. :-)
They are! Wonder if could persuade modern illustrators to try these type instead of horned ones when next they draw... ;) ;)
You've given me an idea for a book I'm planning. I'll see what the illustrator thinks. :-)
Hah! Fab! :)
Huge amounts of hat envy.
Absolutely! Some truly awesome headgear on display back in the day! ;)
I want to go and buy an outrageously large hat and wear it everywhere :-)
Extraordinary!
Saw a piece at the @rijksmuseum today re fantastic hats in 15thC Life of Christ altarpiece - not contemporary made up exotic
