  1. A quotation from Propertius

    Dear love, dear life, you do not need adorning —
       hair curled, silk rustling down your slender side.
    Not by that heavy scent, those foreign bangles,
       is this your natural beauty magnified.
    No. Let that beauty shine in its own brilliance,
       your charm, your grace, transcend what gold can buy.
    Believe me, art is needless. You are lovely,
       and love goes naked nor would trick the eye.
       
    [Quid iuvat ornato procedere, vita, capillo
       et tenuis Coa veste movere sinus,
    aut quid Orontea crines perfundere murra,
       teque peregrinis vendere muneribus,
    naturaeque decus mercato perdere cultu,
       nec sinere in propriis membra nitere bonis?
    Crede mihi, non ulla tuaest medicina figurae:
       nudus Amor formam non amat artificem.]

    Propertius (50-16 BC) Roman elegiac poet [Sextus Propertius]
    Elegies, Book 1, Elegy 2, l. 1ff (1.2.1-8) [tr. Carrier (1963)]

  8. 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!⁠

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  21. #introduction to the other #histodons !

    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 right now on the dress culture of early #Acadia, and a paper coming soon on #weaving in Scottish Cape Breton.

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