This window display was in an Elizabeth Street, Sydney, window of the David Jones department store. It shows a medieval-style castle topped with a crenelated parapet being guarded by mice carrying spears and wearing helmets. A lion wearing a crown and a cloak (the king) is standing in the doorway. David Jones banners also hang from the castle. The mistletoe above the doorway indicates that this was a Christmas window display.

<p>This photograph shows banners advertising the ‘Love and Devotions: from Persia and beyond’ exhibition at the State Library of Victoria. The banners form an image taken from a Persian manuscript. The exhibition features Persian manuscripts from the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries, along with manuscripts from Europe, Ottoman Turkey, and Mughal India. The majority of manuscripts on display are from the Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford.</p>
<p>Such exhibitions are a rare opportunity for Australians to interact with real artefacts from the medieval period. Along with modern appropriations they often help to form people’s perceptions of the medieval era.</p>

<p>Plantagenet Wines have a winery near small rural Western Australian town of Mount Barker in the Shire of Plantagenet. They also have an office in the Perth suburb of Fremantle, where this photograph was taken. The banner depicts the company’s label, also found on their wine bottles, which depicts three lions known as lions passant (walking) in heraldry. The design is based on that used by the Plantagenet dynasty, beginning with King Richard I (the Lionheart) of England (1157-1199). The three lions on the coat of arms of the Plantagenets had blue claws and tongues. The design is also known as the Royal Arms of England.</p>

Raven banner, Balingup Medieval Carnivale
Balingup, Balingup Medieval Carnivale, banner, carnival, Knut, Norse, recreation, raven, raven banner, Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup, South-West WA, Viking, WA, Western Australia
<p>A photograph of a raven banner at the Balingup Medieval Carnivale. A raven banner is mentioned in a (late) version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reporting on a battle in 878 between an invading Viking group and the men of Devon. The latter defeated the invaders and are said to have captured their raven banner. The Saga of the Earls of Orkney reports that a raven banner was made for Sigurd the Stout/Great, and Knut is thought to have had one at the Battle of Ashingdon in 1016. The raven is possibly associated with the Norse god Odin, but it is equally likely that a carrion bird is thought to have been an appropriate battle symbol. The raven on the banner in the photograph is based on the raven featured on the coins of Anlaf Guthfrithsson, the Viking king who ruled from York from 939-41.</p>

A photograph of a camouflaged piece of modern equipment at the Balingup Medieval Carnivale. The painted canvas of medieval-styled stone/brickwork and door cleverly hides a bulky item on a trailer. The theme was continued against the weatherboard wall, as well as a van selling doughnuts (not pictured).
