Embroidered escoffion

happy new year everyone! this one has been high in demand since featuring it on Mathilda, so what better way to ring in 2026!

there are 3 versions of this headpiece - one of which is high poly. this was in order to include all the beading, as there was no great way to reduce the poly count further without deleting parts of the trim altogether. I personally have had no issues with the high poly version in game, but everyone's computer is different!

LOD0 Polycount: V1 (HP) - 18.5k | V2 plain & V3 patterned - 5.9k

When we got to see Solum in the series, the first thing that caught my eye were the guards and their outfit design — specifically the head pieces. After some looking up, thinking it may be Victorian, and also just rethinking how the Vau N'Akat citizens dressed, it looks like they have inspiration from Medieval times. The head-pieces the guards wear looked medical/doctor-ish to me, but that was just because it also looks like they're wearing face-masks (which brings up some other questions as to: for why?) and actually it's probably just a stylized Escoffion/Horned Hennin (from the 15th century) that really falls on the side of their heads rather than above the ears or atop the head. And all of this really gives a vibe of how their society is: a futuristic past, like, they made it work but also improved it enough to get to sci-fi levels that is said in show to surpass Starfleet.

Wish we had more seasons and story with Solum and the Vau N'Akat, and how it is there. Would love it too to have novels that talk and visit there :)

Have you ever thought a piece of art was so dang beautiful you were determined to waste precious time tracking it it down no matter what?

... Just me?

Lol ok

Anyway this painting was so fricking pretty I did just that. I wanted to find more reference images of escoffions and saw this pretty picture:

But it was so low res and just would not do. And I thought it looked cropped. So I searched more and discovered that in fact it had been cropped:

But that was still low res, plus all that was coming up was a cover for a certain book about medieval clothing, so I worried that the piece was a modern one commissioned by a specific person for their book. But I kept looking and lo and behold, it's a whole glorious mural!

It's called Lady Reading Tristan and Isolde and is from the 19th century.

I love it much. Also her escoffion is fabulous.

These are the efforts of my useless labor, but I thought it was so pretty you guys might want to see it's beauty also.

Historical Fashion: The Escoffion

This was a very fashionable piece of clothing for women in late Medieval Europe (from approximately 1250 to 1500). The escoffion was essentially a stuffed roll and can be classified as (but not limited to the following descriptive names): heart-shaped, two-horned, or turban-like. The escoffion was made of silk, wool, or felt and was starched or sewn to keep the desired shape. The escoffion changed a lot over time in size and shape, because it was popular for a long time. Above are just two examples of the vast varieties of this headdress [X].

This headdress is commonly associated with Cecily Neville, which translates in the show The White Queen. The top left artwork shows Joan Beaufort with her daughters (including Cecily) and you can see the similarities between the costume design for Cecily’s headdress in the show and the real thing. In both examples here Cecily is wearing a variation of the heart-shaped escoffion.
