But where does someone get a lion pelt? Is the lion pelt on that signifer made from synthetic material or is it an actual lion skin.

Is the lion pelt on that signifer made from synthetic material or is it an actual lion skin. It's a real lion. The Gemina project acquired it when the animal had died in a Dutch ZOO and the staff kindly helped them with the paperworks, etc. Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - Doc - 01-22-2013 Hello Jurjen, Interesting about the lion. Where I live in NY there is a very large zoo and about two hours from my home a safari theme park. Who knows if I ask them that when one of their lions dies, if I could have the pelt. Somehow being in the States I doubt it. But it does not hurt to ask. Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - tiberius antonius serenus - 01-22-2013 Hello! I'am Antonius from the Legio XXII Primigenia PR P F. This is my Wolf: bye!! ps: hello Jef! Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - Kegluneq - 01-22-2013 Quote:Hello!That looks amazing! I do wonder what the Romans might have used (if anything) to replace the eyes - are those made of glass, or something more complicated? Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - caiusbeerquitius - 01-22-2013 Do we have any evidence for wolf pelts being worn by standard bearers? There are several reenactment groups doing that, I have the impression that it is rather some sort of "reenactorism". And the face masks for standard bearers?

Actually, I have the impression that even using the animal pelt OVER A HELMET might be a re-enactorism as well. Looking at some of the depictions the skin could also be put on the head directly, something like a hat.

I believe there are two stele that show a face mask but some believe it is actually an animal pelt head. I'll try to dig them up: Quintus Luccius Faustus of XIV Gemina Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - M. Demetrius - 01-23-2013 Using the bowl from a Trooper helmet (cut off the neck guard, and perhaps remove the cheek pieces) would give a practical use for one of those helmets. I know someone who did basically that. Seems to work fine. Quote:Looking at some of the depictions the skin could also be put on the head directly, something like a hat.I have seen some that look that way, too. Hard to know for sure. But a piece of furry skin would provide little protection for the head. A metal under-cap would help, for sure. Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts - M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER - 01-23-2013 Quote:Robert very impressive indeed! That lion is huge! Jennifer who made the umbo has the form, but as far as I know, she has no intention to make another copy.

The lion died naturally of course, but we have to travel always with documentations and permissions. We chose to close the eyes of the head because I have no evidence romans were using glass eyes to put them into the animal furs. |
