Here’s a finished knitting project !! It’s a recreation of Peggy Olson’s blue dress, from Mad Men episode 4.08 ‘The Summer Man‘.

I had given it up a year ago, but I finally decided to finish it. I’m glad I did :D

"Puabi (Akkadian: "Word of my father") was an important person in the Sumerian city of Ur, during the First Dynasty of Ur (ca. 2600 BC). [...] Several cylinder seals in her tomb identify her by the title "nin" or "eresh", a Sumerian word which can denote a queen or a priestess. The fact that Puabi, herself a Semitic Akkadian, was an important figure among Sumerians, indicates a high degree of cultural exchange and influence between the ancient Sumerians and their Semitic neighbors." [Source]

Here are some of the references I used :

My main inspiration was this goergeous headdress found in the tomb of Puabi, in the Royal Cemetery at Ur (Iraq). British Museum of London.

If you want to see more pictures of the items that were found on the same site as the tomb of Queen Puabi, I would recommend this awesome book that I found online : C.L. Woolley. "Ur excavations - Volume II". Publication of the Joint Expedition of the British Museum and of the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania to Mesopotamia, 1934. There's a ton of cool references for sumerian objects!

The Queen's lyre, excavated in the same tomb at the Royal Cemetery at Ur, southern Mesopotamia (Iraq). British Museum of London.

The Kanaukes garment [x]

Sumerian statues from Eshnunna, Iraq (2700 BCE).
