  • SCA Circlet of Lordship, Sterling Silver with Amber and Sapphires
    Artisan’s Name: Lord Snorri skyti Bjarnarson, MKA David Haldenwang, [email protected] Title of Project: SCA Circlet of Lordship, sterling silver with amber and sapphires Overview: I really like shiny things. I decided I needed more shiny things, but pretty shiny things are extremely expensive. I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and learn to make more shiny things myself, while saving some money. I chose to make a circlet for myself because it gave me the opportunity to make something particularly visible and gaudy. I used sterling silver, 14k gold, and fine silver, because only thralls wear brass, and chose sapphire and amber cabochons to mount on it, because my arms are Or and Azure. I chose to use seven gems, for the simple reason that seven is not six – I do not want this mistaken for a Baronial coronet. Historical Basis: Some of the earliest forms of headgear worn to denote royalty or nobility are the diadems worn by the ancient Greeksi. These are still preserved in museums, and illustrated on many coins of the era. For example, this coin, of Antiochus III of the Selucid Empire (ca. 223 BC – 187 BC), shows him wearing a diadem, and bears the inscription in Greek ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ, of King Antiochusii: While these diadems started as simple ribbons or wreaths, worn upon the head for ceremonial or religious reasonsiii, by the 4th century, it was fairly common for rulers in the Greek world to wear a golden wreath on their head as a symbol of nobility or even divinity – because many depictions of the Greek pantheon showed the gods wearing wreaths: Heracles with wreath of white poplar leavesiv: There is also the story of Apollo and the nymph Daphne, from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which she is pursued by Apollo and turns herself into a laurel tree.

  • Shroud Spectrum International No. 31 Part 6
    14 In the East during the Middle Ages, artists' conceptions of a thorny crown took a variety of patterns. One example is this "Crown of Thorns and Mocking of Christ", where the thorns sprout like young plants in a box. A manuscript illumination in the Vyšehrad Coronation Gospels (1085-86), Prague. Reproduced by permission of the University Library, Prague. 15 QUESTIONS IN A QUANDARY Monsignore Paleotto tells us: Many who have seen the crown in France report that it forms a sort of helmet. But where in France, during the XVIth century, was such a crown to be seen? The Crown of Thorns, which King Saint Louis redeemed from the Venetians in 1239, for which the Sainte- Chapelle was erected, and which is still conserved in the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, is a mere bandeau of rushes, innocent of thorns. Hardly a "crown", for with a diameter of 21 cm (8¼ inches), it would slip over a man's head to rest on his shoulders. Yet Louis IX was satisfied that the relic was authentic. As Paleotto observed by direct examination of the Holy Shroud, puncture wounds appear in every part of the Lord's head; wounds and bloodflows typical of thorn punctures. Only a mass of thorn branches affixed to the head could have caused these injuries. What became of this cruel bonnet, tinged with the blood of Christ? Weaving our way through many writings, we find a few that might possibly be significant: IVth century — "There was a colony of judeo-christians living on Mount Sion until the byzantine-christians took over in the IVth century.
