the ferronnière was a headband that encircled the forehead, normally with a small adornment at the center. it was a popular style from late 15th century Italy, though it had a short revival between the 1830s-1840s. https://dirtyknight.life/media/d24b47d7043309e051be2ce1b7b9dd44e0440f45140e3e64180c21a6dbbc6a1e.jfif https://dirtyknight.life/media/6b16b36ebb1fec0db9f6bbcf4a6494e60afb747f6680d27415924bc3b8ee8624.jfif https://dirtyknight.life/media/c031b0b12526a8586871964f14b72b3fdcf3a69df218359e7d19ba94a8f53636.jfif https://dirtyknight.life/media/8a9c1cc77855f7f65966addeffe3ba95eec0ab6cc760fd62d43e7cf36eabd314.jfif

Cleopatra had herself smuggled into Julius Caesar’s quarters wrapped in a carpet or bedroll in order to bypass her rivals and secure his support in her struggle for the Egyptian throne

get a lute, they said the girls will love it, they said all they want is to know where I got my leggings :whygodwhy:

I saw Luc Besson’s Dracula yesterday in theaters and I thought it was a refreshing take on Bram Stoker‘s novel despite there having been so many adaptations of it already. I don’t think the 15th century armor depicted was very much historical but subjectively I think the costume design was overall aesthetically pleasing. I also quite like Besson’s decision to genderswap Dracula’s male servant, Renfield. This movie is perhaps the most stylish spectacle yet out of all the Draculas and watching it was a fun ride. I give it 4 out 5 stars
