EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and witness the enchanting beauty and elegance of Saxon ladies from the 9th and 10th centuries as depicted in this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases a group of women dressed in authentic Anglo-Saxon attire, each adorned in tunics, or kirtles, and super-tunics, or rocs, that were commonly worn during this era. One of the ladies in the foreground wears a tunic with an intricately embroidered hem, adding a touch of sophistication and opulence to her outfit. The other women also don tunics, some of which are covered by mantles, while others wear veils or head-rails that completely conceal their hair, reflecting the modesty and piety of Saxon women during this period. The Anglo-Saxon costume, with its simple yet elegant design, is a testament to the rich historical heritage of England. The tunics, made from wool or linen, were often worn with a belt at the waist, while the mantles were made from heavier fabric and draped over the shoulders for added warmth. The head-rails, made from metal or bone, were worn to keep the hair in place and protect it from the elements. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Saxon ladies, providing us with a deeper understanding of their fashion, culture, and history. The meticulous attention to detail and authenticity in the costumes make this image a must-have for history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone with an interest in the Anglo-Saxon era.
