Lady Edith or Edith Swan Neck £125
Lady Edith – Edith Swan Neck
Edith the Fair or Edith Swan Neck as she is often called, is one of the very few women thought to be depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry or to feature in the 1066 story at all for that matter. Thought to be Harold’s first and common law wife there are many myths and stories around this powerful Anglo Saxon woman.
Our Battle of Hastings Collection has been conceived to mirror the narrative style of the Bayeux Tapestry, telling the story of one of the country’s most famous battles through a series of figures and vignettes. The palette is also tightly controlled and focuses on colours similar to those in the Bayeux Tapestry itself, so comprises Chestnut Brown, Russet, soft Charcoal Grey, Dark Green, Coral and Black.
Currently numbering five different figures this series is still being developed with new figures in the pipeline. So watch this space. Click the links below to see the other figures.
