the Met Museum's weirdly fetishizing description of that one gorgeous blue velvet Victorian cape squats in my mind without paying rent
this is the cape:
Tumblr media
Pretty! Made by Emile Pingat! Very Gothic! love it.
this is part of the description:
 The rich color of the royal blue velvet is evocative of the original wearer who at that point in time would have been seen as a precious jewel who required continual attention and assistance. That perceived helplessness is also reflected in the cape's lack of armholes, which would limit easy mobility.
...I. what.
I suspect it's blue because she liked blue and commissioned it that way (or selected that one ready-made for the color). and, my guy, there is clearly a big front opening through which one can reach for things. would you say that about a men's cape without armholes? they definitely existed, and plenty of women's capes DID have them. how does this No Armholes For Female Helplessness theory play out in view of those facts?
I also suspect this person wrote that part of the description one-handed

Gold armband with Herakles knot
Hellenistic period
3rd–2nd century BCE
Gold inlaid with garnets, emeralds, and enamel
3 1/2in. (8.9cm)
The Herakles knot on this sumptuous armband is enriched with floral decoration and inlaid with garnets, emeralds, and enamel. According to the Roman writer Pliny, the decorative device of the Herakles knot could cure wounds, and its popularity in Hellenistic jewelry suggests that it was thought to have the power to avert evil.
from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
