the ostrich queen
The LOOK is based on the ostrich, a motif of strength and power befitting a queen. To express the vanity of medieval man, the ruff is placed on the head, and the corset has the bones exposed to emphasize the human skeleton. Plastic bones are placed inside the bones to support the shape. In addition, the lace on the back represents the spinal cord. The multiple transition lines represent the skin of a reptile. The skirt is kept round by panniers, and the ostrich egg-like fur gives the figure a lifelike appearance as it walks.
