"Ever flipped through your #history book and wondered “Why are all the #Jews wearing these funny #hats?”

You find it all over #Christian #art from stained glass windows to manuscripts, the #Judenhat (“#Jewish #hat”) can be traced back to #medieval #Europe.

You can even find it in the Bird’s Head Haggadah and some other Jewish books of the time! Originally a marker of eastern learning, antiquity and authority, and even fashionable with 12th century aristocracy, things took a dark turn as Jews were depicted wearing the hat while killing #Jesus. Paired with a “Jewish nose”, the hat can even sometimes still be seen in #Antisemitic depictions of Jews today."

A lot of the times I walk past my stack of hats I both yearn for one of those old fashioned hat stands... And think that I should really wear Second Largest Hat more. It's rather large!
The second photo is from the making of, where I sewed on pieces of embroidered lace by hand. There's a bit of veiling on top of it I've since changed my mind about, but I haven't changed it because I don't wear it!
