Medieval Floral Azure Earrings Knights 18th century bodice bracelets andMedieval Floaral Azure Earrings: This jewellery is inspired from a beechwood box made in 1580 in Venice. This box may have been used for combs, brushes and other small personal accessories. Contemporary illustrations show such boxes hung on the wall in a bed chamber beside a dressing mirror with similar decoration.
