Norman conquest has got to be one of the most interesting historical events ever in terms of interpersonal plotlines/dynamics/arcs like where else do you get a guy who’s so fucking hung up on stuff he has to commission a 230 foot tapestry to process it

@WeirdMedieval I think the one on the right is part of a jeweler’s shop or workshop. Those seem to be jewelry components and samples. Such a fun little display/collection!

from what i understand of the mechanism, the duck will stop screaming on its own eventually but start again *if* someone drinks from the goblet without downing the entire contents in one go. so it's basically a machine that shames you into chugging

A goblet designed by Ismail al-Jazari in the 13th century. When the goblet is filled with wine, the duck on top begins to scream and rotate before stopping with its beak pointed at a random partygoer. It doesn't stop screaming until the chosen person has drained the goblet completely.

@heirtothehive i think it’s fantastic! all of camille’s books are incredibly well written and offer very good perspectives on medieval art and the psychology behind it

you might think it’s hard trying to make a living as an artist today, but imagine having to do a silly little dance for your boss’ wife and kids to earn a shilling on the side
