Wives, Queens, Goddesses: Reconstructing the Outfit of a 8th-7th Century BC Picenian Woman
The present work is a reconstruction which was made with two objectives in mind.

| description | The present work is a reconstruction which was made with two objectives in mind. The first was to experiment with heat-treating of amber, a technique already hypothesised by Von Eles (1995), in order to verify possible resin alteration due to heating. Although already tried in the past (Fiorentini, 2018b) after having conducted some cold-working experiments (Fiorentini, 2018a), some of the amber jewels shown represent the first successful examples of hot-working with amber. The second objective was to give the public a hypothetical representation of Picenian female dress in 8th-7th Century BC, in order to complement the Picenian warrior figure (Fiorentini, 2013), therefore showing the public the differences between the two. |
