Working on the #medieval #boarspears for a #medievalhunting event this year. Dyed also some #silk for the fringes, but that will need some more work.

1/2 I recently heard the notion in an online discussion, that medieval christian veiling was a matter of practicality.

That is something I have heard quite regulary in reenactment/living history circles and it always irks me a bit when that aspect of veiling is so heavily emphasised. Yes, veils can also have practical effects like holding back the hair for working, protecting the head from dust, sun and the elements in general.
