The Celtic Bird Scarf is made of 100% rayon (first quality), measuring 14″ x 70″. The birds are twisted upon themselves, with tails, ears and body parts weaving in and out other parts, much like regular knotwork interlace. The scarf is available in royal purple only.
The Celtic Bird Knot represents freedom from physical earthbound restrictions. The bird was considered to seer, who comprehends all; bird was a symbol of reverence. In mythology, the bird is said to be a messenger from this world to the next. Birds play a prominent role in Celtic myth and legend. As symbols of freedom and transcendence, they represent the human soul in flight, liberated from earthly ties, able to soar in spiritual communication with the heavens. Returning to earth, they bring messages of prophecy and guidance, aiding mortals on their spiritual and earthly journeys. Birds are usually used to represent prophetic knowledge, bloodshed, and skill.

Leather Viking Helm is modeled after a piece excavated from 10th century ruins in Norway. The “spectacle” type face guard is historically more accurate than the wings or horns typically depicted as the “Viking” look. They’re lighter and more comfortable than steel, while still providing an authentic look and modest protection.
The Leather Viking Helm is made of very thick harness grade leather. The Viking Helm includes an adjustable liner. Leather helms are perfect for reenactors, LARP and even faire goers.
The name Viking is a loan form the native Scandinavian term for the Norse seafaring warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, the British Isles and other parts of Europe from the late 8th century to the 11th century, the period of European history referred to as the Viking Age. The word was introduced to the English language with romantic suggestions in the 18th century. The earliest date given for a Viking invasion is 787 when a group of men from Norway sailed to Portland, in Dorset. They were mistaken as merchants by a royal official and they murdered him, when he tried to get them to accompany him to the king’s manor to pay a trading tax on their goods.

The Royal Muscled Cuirass is made of steel with a black finish and contains the symbols of a lion head in brass along with two sea serpents on either side as emblems of royalty and power. A black leather sectioned skirt is attached around the base of the Cuirass done also with brass cap points and lion’s heads. A pin closure secures the armor on and overall there are six pin closures for a secure fit and done in brass.
Authentic detailing is done for the chest, peck and belly button. The Royal Muscled Cuirass weighs approximately 8-10 lbs. Fits up to 48″ chest. Not adjustable. The Cuirass measures 17 1/2″ long in back, 20 1/2″ in front.
Cuirass is body armor that protects the torso of the wearer above the waist or hips. Originally it was a thick leather garment covering the body from neck to waist, consisting of a breastplate and a backpiece fastened together with straps and buckles and a gorget, a collar protecting the throat. In Homeric and Hellenistic times, it was made of bronze. Cuirasses of leather as well as iron were worn by officers in the armies of the Roman Empire. Later made of steel, the cuirass was forerunner to the body armor worn to deflect bullets.

European Barbute, circa 1460 is a prime example of the true genius of early Italian helm smiths! The Barbute style helm provided visibility so crucially needed in battle while providing protection of the neck. This is a full size wearable reproduction skillfully handcrafted of 18 gauge steel. The European Barbute is a reproduction of a 14th century Barbute helmet. The helmet is both wearable, as well as excellent collectible piece.
The barbute is a conical, open-faced helmet, whose sides and back are extended down to protect the neck. The barbute is characterized by a rounded skull and a t-shaped opening for the face, which are sometimes expanded into a fully open face. The Barbute helmet is of style used in the mid 15th century. The barbuta, which is typically Italian in style, is known as an ‘Italian sallet’ in Germany and a ‘French sallet’ in France. The barbute, which originally came from Italy, was eventually worn all over Europe, though usually with the addition of a bevor, or, more often, a mail aventail. In the latter form it can be mistaken for a small bascinet without a visor, the difference being the barbute has cheek protection.

The Druid Robe is a classic pullover robed with closed front and a fabulous hood. The robe is generously cut and long to fit men and women, fits up to XXL. The Druid Robe is available in tough black cotton. Hand wash.
The term Druid refers to the priestly class in ancient Celtic societies which existed through much of Western Europe, north of the Alps and in the British Isles. The Druidic practice appears to be deeply traditional and conservative; the druids were conserving repositories of culture and wisdom. The historical knowledge of Druids is very limited. Of their oral literature of sacred songs, formulas for prayers, rules of divination and magic, not one verse has survived. Their influence was as much social as religious. Druids not only used to take the part that modern priests would, but they were often the philosophers, scientists, lore-masters, teachers, judges and counselors to the kings. In the lives of saints, martyrs and missionaries, the Druids are represented as magicians and diviners opposing Christian missionaries

The 17th Century Lady’s Dress is a classic Renaissance noble woman’s dress created in the Italian style.
For the lady of class, this dress is for times at court or other official functions. The 17th Century Lady’s Dress is burgundy and black floral dress with a black center front skirt panel adorned with lovely trim that is on the sleeves as well.
Women’s fashion during the 17th Century consisted of tight-waisted dresses with corsets and full skirts, sometimes made of silk and trimmed with lace. Men sometimes wore a casaque (cape). This type of cape was cut so that the front and back could be buttoned together to form a coat and the shoulder pieces could be buttoned together to form the sleeves.

Roman Sandals |
|
The Roman Sandals were worn by the Roman Legion for the long march and the long campaign that often followed it. The hobnails kept the sole from wearing out too quickly. The Roman Sandals are constructed of leather. Available in brown or black.
The Roman Sandals were officially called the ‘Caligae.’ The hobnailed sandals, made from pig leather were thick-soled and heavy. The hobnails were hollow- headed and a lining may have been used inside for comfort. The heavy sandals are the classic Roman army boot. Numerous examples have been found at first-century sites.
Caligae were as important as armor, because the legions won wars by fast marches as much as by battle. These sandals were strong and well-ventilated with patterns of iron hobnails especially designed to take weight and withstand miles of marching. A soldier would wear out and obtain new caligae every 6 months or so, after many repairs were made. Often wool socks were worn under the caligae, which made them much more comfortable. Many styles of caligae were made, though military forms seem to have followed a similar style.
