#i feel like this hasn't really been posted on the internet before?? 👀 #and none of the existing catalogue descriptions mention the queer imagery at all (disappointed but not surprised) #nor does any of the secondary literature on the manuscript!! (judging by the titles) #you need to understand my approach for this blog is just to browse through hundreds of pages of random digitized manuscripts #ummm anyways #15th century #medieval art #illuminated manuscript #blemmyes #queer #gender stuff #otto von diemeringen #mandeville's travels #jean de mandeville #The Travels of Sir John Mandeville #nudity #medieval studies #gender

I've sculpted a blemmye and learned what a bemmye is ! It was fun, I loved sculpting his face. Trying to pose him was ... something else !

He's downloable on MMF/Cults3D/Thingiverse

Archaeologists have discovered an ancient Egyptian temple with 15 mummified falcons, many of them headless and buried around a pedestal. The discovery suggests a previously unknown ritual performed by the nomadic tribe known as the Blemmyes.
