Amulet for protection of brides and their households, North Africa, n.d. Each of the orbs is engraved with a quotation from the Hebrew Bible:
בן פרת יוסף בן פרת עלי עין מזל טוב (Genesis 49:22)
ישמך אלהים כשרה רבקה רחל ולאה (Ruth 4:11)
רבות בנות עשו חיל ואת עלית על כלנה (Proverbs 31:29)
קול ששון וקול שמחה קול חתן וקול כלה (Jeremiah 33:11)
שקר החן והבל היפי אשה יראת יי היא תתהלל (Proverbs 31:30)

I made this Mythril Chainmaille bracelet from 22 gauge Sterling Silver wire. I wrap the raw wire around a rod, cut that coil into circles with a jewelers saw, open them up using two pairs of pliers, put each one into place, close them using two pairs of pliers, and than to make sure my work will last a lifetime I weld each one closed before moving to the next. This beauty has exactly 1,570 links in it and it weighs just over two ounces. Oh and I make and weld the clasps myself. Look how pretty!!
Fine Silver with welded links.
Look what made a comeback with a twist!
Herondale Dagger

Medieval manuscript of the week is a stunningly bound manuscript from Flanders or France. It is one of the treasures of the Bodleian library, and currently on display in the new Treasures exhibition in the Weston Library.
I’d love to tell you more about the manuscript, but my computer isn’t cooperating tonight, so you’ll have to savour the photo of the luxurious binding and wait for more details later in the week!
