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, wearing long tunics and super-tunics or rocs. The women's garments are characterized by their flowing, draped folds, which fall in soft, undulating lines, creating an ethereal and otherworldly effect. The long tunics, which reach down to the ankles, are worn over shorter undergarments, while the super-tunics or rocs are worn as outer garments, often belted at the waist with a sash-style girdle. The end of one such girdle is visible on the right side of the image, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. The women's heads are completely covered by head rails or veils, which were an essential part of Anglo-Saxon women's dress during this period. These veils, made of linen or wool, were worn to signify modesty and respectability, and were often held in place by hairpins or other decorative accessories. The intricate drapery of the women's coverchief or headcloth is also visible in the image, adding to the rich textural quality of the scene. The Anglo-Saxon women's costumes, with their simple yet elegant lines and flowing folds, offer a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of early medieval Europe. This image, with its evocative sense of history and tradition, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Anglo-Saxon art and history.
