This masterpiece of Renaissance metalwork is signed on the browplate by Filippo Negroli, whose embossed armor was praised by sixteenth-century writers as “miraculous” and deserving “immortal merit.” Formed of one plate of steel and patinated to look like bronze, the bowl is raised in high relief with motifs inspired by classical art. The graceful mermaidlike siren forming the helmet’s comb holds a grimacing head of Medusa by the hair. The sides of the helmet are covered with acanthus scrolls inhabited by putti, a motif ultimately derived from ancient Roman sculpture and wall paintings. (x)

Me looking especially broody while waiting for a fight at the fighter auction at Rowany festival this Easter. I went for surprisingly high and died valiantly for my step fathers’ honour, who would not let himself be outbid by someone who wanted a lady fighting for them.
My kit is finally all together! I’m amazed I look so serious in this photo, I’m usually grinning like a lunatic and chatting to everyone in between fights.
PS, I am all the sweaty!
someone asked me about what Nimona’s hair would look like IRL and then someone else linked me to this post and ummm
yep
