Hi! I'm Fíriel and I occasionally share my ventures into historical costuming and cosplay, mostly documented in mirror selfies :)
pictured below: my Éowyn and Imogen cosplays, a cycling skirt I made myself and my first (kinda failed) attempt at natural dying
A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed as Éowyn from The Two Towers movie in a blue and brown dress A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed as Imogen Temult from Critical Role's Campaign 3. She's wearing a blue dress with a slit on the side showing grey shorts underneath, a white vest, brown boots and a yellow kerchief around her neck. Her hair is pastel purple. A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed in a vaguely 1910's outfit. She's wearing a loose white blouse with lace details around the neck, black buttoned boots and a dark blue cycling skirt with buttons down the front. A mirror selfie of Fíriel in a pink medieval dress. Her hair is in two long braids.

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩

The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse!

This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago!

📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long curving neck and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.

Frog tied some string around the box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

WAHOOOOO
a medieval manuscript style illustration of Patience, Lacey, and Fitz outdoors on a dirt path. Patience is crouched down, holding her slippers and the skirt of her green dress in one hand, and an uprooted marigold in the other. She’s looking up at Lacey, who is reaching out to grab the marigold and looking down at Patience fondly. She’s wearing a blue dress, darker blue cloak, and white veil. Behind them on the path, Fitz has clearly stumbled upon them in surprise, and his eyes are wide and full of emotion. In the background, Buckkeep is visible on the horizon, and there is an ornate border filled with plants, scrollwork, and a tiny Nighteyes and stone dragon, which hasn’t yet been colored in.

A portrait of Fitz and Beloved gazing into each other's eyes while touching tenderly. They are both painted in an ethereal way, bright and glowing and golden; the outlines of Fitz's form fade indistinctly into the dark background.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

From Richborough Roman fort
📷 by me

#TilesonTuesday
#Archaeology
My photo shows a hand-sized, jagged, fragment of Roman red clay tile. There is an impression of a dog’s paw pressed into the clay. The imprint shows four toe pads arranged in an arc above a central pad. Above each toe imprint there is a small indent made by the dog’s claws. The imprint was made when the paw pressed into soft clay when the clay tile was laid out in the yard before firing. The tile fragment is set against a blue display case background. Excavated at Richborough Roman fort. My photo was taken in 2020.

Fitz and Patience from the prologue to Assassin's Quest, based on the painting "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan"
a digital painting of Fitz and Patience in the style of “Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan.” Patience is cradling Fitz’s body to her chest, gently holding his waist and his head. She’s looking into the distance, distraught, with wide, teary eyes. Fitz is staring blankly, blood running down his face and neck and staining his blue tunic and white shirt. Chivalry’s earring dangles from his ear. They’re in a dungeon with stone walls and a dirt floor, which is also stained with blood.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse...

#MosaicMonday
#Archaeology
The image shows detail from a floor mosaic of a brown mouse on a pale background facing left with its nose close to half a walnut in its shell. The mouse has a long thin tail stretched out behind. The mosaicist has used a mix of lighter and darker brown tiles for the mouse’s body to hint at fur. The walnut is created with warmer light and dark brown tiles. Slightly darker background tiles have been used beneath the mouse and walnut to create subtle shadows

Adorable ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago!

📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four hippo statuettes made of Egytian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. Their bright-blue shiny bodies are decorated in black with depictions of Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts their marsh habitat as well as having various layers of symbolism associated with regeneration. For example lotus flowers open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It’s thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased. Hippo top left - Walking hippo shown in profile facing right. Height 11.5 cm, Length 21 cm. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Top right - Roaring hippo (looks like the hippo is smiling), seated, with head at left and turned inwards to front. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Bottom left - Standing hippo in profile facing right. This hippo is part of the Met Museum’s collections and is popularly known as ‘William’. Height 11.2 cm, Length 20 cm Bottom Right - Reclining hippo with head on the right, facing front, and tilted down. Egyptian Museum, Cairo
