I love them all, though I always wondered what those Sumerian clothes were supposed to look like. Now I know, thank you.

Wilhelm

Thanks! This type of clothing was called kaunakes by the Greeks. The exact nature of kaunakes is debated, but they were most likely woolen fabric with tassels made to resemble a fleece. Modern shepherds cloak in Eastern Europe and Iran are made in the same manner. It is quite puzzling that the ruling class of the agricultural Sumerian society wore a nomadic-style woolen clothes, though.

TheImperialOwl

That is fascinating. It does strike me as odd, and makes me ponder the possibilities, though greater minds than mine have probably come up with better theories than I could. Thank you.

What kind of animal is the Batavi one?

Nathan@Saber-40

I like all of them every one in their own way, I especially like on how you did ( Vespera Draco ) I also look forward to seeing any more of the Bat Lady. Plus I love how did the textiles on her attire, an further more just love to some Eastern European culture. 😁

Nathan@Saber-40

From what I can tell is a wolf or some kind of dog.

TulipFarthing

Wilhelm
