| Abstract | The first paper will discuss the iconographic exchanges that took place from the 7th to the 10th centuries in Central Asia between the Sogdians and various peoples. How did Sogdians absorbed several foreign elements that can be seen in the patterns of their textile production. The second paper will focus on one accessory, the belt, and its different meanings in real life and in iconography, trying to disentangle some of the main aspects. The last paper will be about Testard's Echecs amoureux moralisés (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, MS Français 143), showing how imaginary meets reality, and that it doesn't take much for the tangle of dress codes to turn the medieval man into a legend. |
