Effigy of Queen Eleanor, consort of Henry II, 13th century, (1910). Tomb effigy from the Abbey of Fontevrault in Aquitaine near Anjou in Normandy, showing regal dress of the end of the 12th century. She wears a voluminous robe with sleeves tight at the wrist, confined at the waist with a narrow girdle. The head is attired in a 'Wimple' and 'Peplum'. The wimple, a piece of cloth which passed under the chin, had two ends which were fastened towards the top of the head with a brooch. The peplum fell down symmetrically on either side of the face and over the back of the head. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910).
