Yes, it's been a while since I did work in the Renaissance era. I know it's not a belt but couldn't remember exactly what it was called. It was late and I was tired. I'm starting back into the era. I'm starting a new garb set for an upcoming Ren Faire event. I'll have to pull out my books and

Re: [h-cost] [ h-cost] Renaissance coif or hood

I looked back at the photos. She is wearing a necklace that lies on her chest, one that hangs from her shoulders and the girdle. The middle one is the one that looks like an office insignia. That's the one I meant. The smaller necklace and the insignia one have S on them.Sincerely, Rebecca

Re: [h-cost] odd outfit

Just as an aside, you can't count on no nekkidness for saints - there are a number of images of the Virgin in the western tradition in which one breast is bared, a couple of Mary Magdalene in which she wears little more than hair (and she's always red-headed!) and a couple of the early virgin
