I love me some medieval material culture. I try to reproduce it, I try to get inside of the processes of it. And most importantly I collect images... tons and tons of images. I am going to drop a few on you here.
Forgive the almost total armour centric perspective.
I want this chair!!!! ... to be light and portable enough to win the year of the chair :)
Oh and another one to pique your interest from a book called "Rediscovering the Arms and Armour of the Himalayas" I love how ancient things "weather"
This is a forearm guard of leather and iron from Tibet.... Sweet!
This one is from www.hermann-historica.com go check these guys out and if you have the Euros, buy a slice of medieval history for yourself! And not just armour or weapons TONS of other really neat medieval stuff.
It is indecent how much I want this heap of rust. It is a bit like the skeleton Lucy to a paleontologist. It is an almost unique transitional armour, it represents the time in between platemail and earlier banded or platelet mails. The chains seen on this (thought to secure weapons) are nearly unique in the material history of armour.
A hunting trousse also from hermann-historica.
I NEED this to be a proper medieval German. It could have been mine for only 3500 euros
