This is a belt of an upper-class citizen, there is no note as to whether it is male or female. From somewhere between the years of 1450 - 1500. Made from leather with silver and silver gilt, which is silver gilded with gold. Has a similar clasp style to that of belts from the medieval time period. http://www.museopoldipezzoli.it/#!/en/discover/collections/1916
If you thought your average Tudor sailor just wore bland grey and brown clothing, think again! This plain woven red checked textile was found inside a woollen jerkin, and may have been part of the lining. The cut edges which have been preserved show no signs of stitching, so this item may have been worn as an undershirt, rather than being an actual fitted liner. Image © Mary Rose Trust
