/* Leg wraps */
==Leg wraps==
The probalem problem with femal female leg coverings is that women in art are shown wearing long dresses which reach the andkle ankle or even the floor, thereby leaving no clue as to what it is underneath. The one exception can be found in one of the Psychomachias (British Library, MS additional 24199, fol. 12r.). In this image the vice Superbia is shown on horse back with her dress riding up her leg and around her lower leg is a wrap with ties at the ankle. [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.226]
