C14th Cape Conversing Corp Garde Hoods Including Officials Sleeveless Sleeves Super Tunics Version 14th Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 14th century print captures a group of Officers of the State, dressed in the ornate and distinctive costumes of their time. The central figure wears a super-tunic, or garnache, featuring voluminous cape-like sleeves that add a grandiose and regal air. The garnache is adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, reflecting the high status of these officials. To the left, a garde-corps officer is depicted in a similar, yet more streamlined version of the garnache, with a fitted bodice and shorter sleeves. His hood, edged with the distinctive liripipe, is pulled back to reveal a clean-shaven face. To the right, another officer is shown in a sleeveless version of the super-tunic, with a placket and fitchet, or open front, revealing a linen undershirt. His hood, also with a liripipe, is worn forward, obscuring his face. The Officers of the State played a crucial role in the administration and enforcement of justice during the late Middle Ages. Their impressive attire served not only as a symbol of their authority but also as a means of distinguishing them from the general population. This print offers a glimpse into the opulent world of medieval officialdom and the intricate details of their clothing.
