So I'm rummaging around on RealOnline tonight, looking at purses/pouches and I find this image which has very little to do with that...

First we have St. Clare and St. Francis studying together, she's wearing the typical big braids, the gefrens and the pearled headband, pretty typical mid 15th century stuff.

In the next scene, she's getting her hair shorn, and what do we see draped over the altar? Her pearled headdress, her false braids and the gefrens!

Check it out, it is way cool! And for some reason, the false braids are blue, still haven't figured that one out yet...
