A couple of my stakes are made from a similar item - balls used to crush ingredients in the cement making process. Works just fine once you clean em up.

There is no artist identified. This is the case with many medieval altarpieces such as this one.

Thanks.
Carlo

Added a option to search by Institution. It appears I'll need to do some cleanup of the institution list, but it should work.

117 new manuscripts added. 2,521 new miniatures. Thanks to Ernst for this contribution.

I built a box inspired by the one in your post, and other examples. My side panels are nailed on to the base, and then hardware secures the remaining edges, with nails straight through and clinched.

If you wear it over chainmail, you only need a strap and buckle. Mount the buckle to one side or the other so it doesn't impede movement or dig.

Galfrid atte grene

Yes, it is a B3. Cuts 12 gauge stainless no problem.

I asked someone with experience in old German transcription & translation (though not specializing in such early material). Here is the transcription: Itim So einer gesch- ossen Wurde das das Pfeil Eissen in im pleibtt aber was in ein gestochen gebrechen(?) undt in im abt pricht so leg ein füx(?) zü...

This isn't the first time this has happened. Hopefully they have full backups (which they should considering what happened before).

Galfrid atte grene

I suppose they're using images such as these for that justification:

All from Italy, 1340-1360

I agree with Ernst, the time periods for a garment with grande assiete-style sleeves and the pictured sugarloaf likely do not overlap.

Galfrid atte grene

I like this one myself: http://manuscriptminiatures.com/5152/15982/

Galfrid atte grene

Hmm, I think I remember this axe. A guy asked to borrow my spear during the bridges and handed me his (your?) axe. A minute or two later, his friend came up and gave him another weapon, and I got my spear back from his friend, and gave him the axe. His friend seemed confused about where the axe came...

My 14th century fencing gear is just a cote with a few more layers than usual, to pass the puncture test (and an inner flap to bridge under the buttons). A hood goes over the mask and covers the required gorget as well. Everything else is the standard stuff I wear normally - hose, low boots, belt, e...

I don't know about that exact shape, but you can find stuff close to it 1390-1425. For example:

Yes, you can still do it. I printed my pattern onto some sticker paper, then cut out each letter once it was stuck to my brass. Depending on which part you peel off (letter or background), you can get the inverse.

Galfrid atte grene

I've done it with stickers themselves as a resist, works fine with ferric chloride.

132 new effigies have been added, mostly martial, but a few civilians as well. I've also made many enhancements to existing records, mainly in the form of better images. There is now a Facebook page where I'll post updates (as well as this thread). Finally, here's a couple examples from the new set....

Galfrid atte grene

I think it is an anachronism. Would love to see evidence to the contrary.

Galfrid atte grene

I would say it depends on when specifically in the 14th century, and where.

Galfrid atte grene

I'm sure there are a number of ways. I'm partial to this image, it shows two possibilities: http://armourinart.com/102/243/

The first update of 2014 is in, with 2,230 images! We're now at a total of 12,050 images. Thanks once again to Ernst for his consistent and comprehensive contributions, which made up the lion's share of this update.

It is a fashion item.

Galfrid atte grene

See my thread here for a question relating to those ...

Galfrid atte grene

Sorry guys, not sure why the site was down. Should all be working now. This is actually my favorite manuscript ever. So much interesting stuff going on both on the armoured and non-armoured figures.

Galfrid atte grene

But why would the artist grant ermine detail to one garment but not others? Note also how the ends on the cotes are squared off, despite the artist clearly possessing the skill to draw in greater detail.

Construction-wise, yes, of course, there is a backing.

Galfrid atte grene

I am trying to interpret the ermine representations on various miniatures in BNF NAF 5243. Here's a fellow who has an ermine fur liner on his cloak. You can clearly see the outline and texture of each individual fur. http://i.imgur.com/YiBr2Oj.jpg But here are three examples of similarly-dressed guy...

I'm interested and live close enough to actually make the drive now.

Galfrid atte grene

This style armour is too late for 1330-1350. In the Germany area during this time, you'd be wearing a coat of plates.

Galfrid atte grene

Baltimore is Barony of Bright Hills. Lochmere is nearby, though. There is a heavy practice in Lochmere concurrent with fencing every Tuesday night starting around 7. http://lochmere.atlantia.sca.org/partic ... s/#fighter

I'm there just about every week, along with 3-4 others.

Galfrid atte grene

Indeed. You can see that part is omitted on both the 1847 and 1864 drawings. Church Brasses, British & Continental by Allan Bouquet confirms restoration of the damaged components.

I suspect you'll find neither torses nor mantles on bascinets in the 14th century.

Galfrid atte grene

I'm almost certain this is a mantle of some sort. Like Ernst has pointed out, there is a draping effect present on the lower half. Plus, on other helms with no drape in the same manuscript, you can see the helm seams and rivets, which would still be present if it was painted. I think the paint theor...

Some of these guys are wearing a similar visor, though the eye slots aren't exactly the same: http://manuscriptminiatures.com/4056/11775/

Galfrid atte grene

You can find the same thing in 14th century art. Shoes matched with hose.
