people really dont know anything about like burial context or provenance/provenience or interpretation of finds or indeed ANY SORT OF CRITICAL REASONING
#im arguing with a lady about her dreadful awful pathetic reconstruction of “”“mongol overalls”“”#(read: Liao (khitan) dynasty trouser layer with shoulder straps worn under several other upper garments)#her whole argument is based on the specious report of an AUCTION HOUSE which nevertheless states that they are PRE MONGOL#basically everything sold in auction houses is unprovenanced and unprovenienced because it comes from TOMB RAIDING#which destroys ANY archaeological context#and is a MASSIVE PROBLEM and why auctioning historical artefacts should be fucking illegal#simply because of the disruption it causes to historical and scientific investigation.#anyway her “”“reconstruction”“” is block printed linen and does not resemble the extant garment in any way.#the original is pattern woven silk !!!!#at least use plain silk tabby! you stupid fucking yank#god I am so disproportionately angry about this
