#FindsFriday: `Golden shoes where a symbolic attribute of kingship in Irish and Welsh tradition. And various #Otherwordly figures where associated with a silver sandal on the one foot and a golden one on the other.` Prof. John Waddel #Celtic

Jewellery & the senses: smell is incredibly important for us, and so it comes as no surprise that it also forms part and parcel of jewellery! Jewellery and scent are closely connected: many jewellery pieces contain fragrance one way or another.⁠
⁠
But that aspect is often overlooked, simply because fragrance disappears after some time...so how are we to remember this beautiful capacity of jewellery?⁠
⁠
That is the topic of the next installation of my Jewellery & The Senses blog range! After Sight and Touch, this blog dives into the world of Smell!⁠

Two amber beads, found beneath the ziggurat of Assur (in current-day Iraq) and buried there around 3,500 years ago. The amber came from the Baltic region: trade networks reached far and wide.
On view in the spectacular Bronze Age exhibition in the National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden.

Silver anklet of Ethiopian Christian women. In the excellent exhibition 'Hew Locke: What have we here?' in @britishmuseum, where we also learn that this particular pair was looted on April 13, 1868, in Maqdala.

A quotation from La Bruyere, Jean de:

«
A plain appearance is to ordinary men their proper garb: it suits them and fits them, but it adorns those persons whose lives have been distinguished by grand deeds; I compare them to a beauty who is most charming in négligé.
»

I made a felt lining for the wooden box I finished recently. Now it's soft from the inside. 😌

I'm looking for more #MaterialCulture folks to follow, especially those working on, in or around #dress and #adornment, and scholars working on the #Atlantic world. Are there pithy hashtags for those?

An introduction repeat, now that I'm moving instances.

I'm a dress historian with an interest in all things #adornment and #MaterialCulture. I'm interested in the #HistoryOfDress, #HistoryOfTextiles, and the #EarlyModernAtlantic.

I have a book in copy edits with MQUP right now on the dress culture of early #Acadia, and a paper coming soon in Textile History on #weaving in Scottish Cape Breton. You'll hear a lot more about these as publication gets closer.

My current big project is on #spurs and #EarlyModern #masculinities, and I teach a four-course sequence on global #FashionHistory at Dalhousie University.
