"Man with Cup" sculpture by Sean Henry at Salisbury Cathedral, England (built 1220)

Was on a Wikipedia rabbit hole and found this art installation and I love the contrast of a sculpture of a modern dude in a suit holding a takeout coffee alongside ornate early English Gothic medieval sculptures.

How did they know modern man wears suits in 1220?

I think the Cathedral is from then not the sculpture.

How can you tell he's wearing a cup?
