[Regia-NA] Peplos

[Chris Boulton]

Agreed - peplos is Anglecynn era - 500-ish - veryflattering though - I wish
I had time to do both!

Slightly off topic, but interesting nonetheless I thought.....

Stewart Lewis, a member of Grantanbrycg, moved to Denmark about 6 years ago
and married a Danish museum quality silversmith. On a return visit during
the summer about 4 years ago, they met up with us at the local pub, and
Kathe was wearing a yellow linen peplos as casual wear.

At first glance one tended to notice the silver shoulder clasps...and the
eye was drawn nearer....they were exquisite filigree copies of originals -
possibly even better made than the originals too.

I could go on about the jewelry they'd brought with them in a box to sell -
rings, armrings, filigree brooches....but I'd just make myself drool all
over the keyboard.

Since then she's become a Master Goldsmith.

Some people have all the luck.

Chris.
