The Art and Techniques of Opus Anglicanum
•
Cathy Jack Coupland
Opus Anglicanum was the Haute Couture of its time, whether, for secular or religious garments, coverings, purses, seal bags or even horse trappers, these items were made to be part of an experience – they were made to be seen, to stand out and to display the object or wearer as someone or something of status and was central to an art form displaying the rich material culture of the medieval elite.
