Magdalen girdle

 

This silk tablet woven girdle is woven using a warp manipulation technique. The inspiration for this girdle is the dark green/blue one worn by Mary Magdelen in Rogier Van Der Weyden's painting of her reading.

The silk was hand dyed using brazilwood, and the buckle and strap end are of brass.
