Skjoldehamn Hood – raven print – black / gold – Large – midweight linen

Description

This style of hood is based on/inspired by a find in Skjold Harbor in Norway which dates to the 11th century. A hood is a great cover for the head and the shoulders from exposure to sun, cold temperatures and especially windy weather. In the medieval times a hood was often also combined with some kind of coif, hat, cap or a combination of coif and cap.

I printed this lovely midweight linen fabric by hand using a raven/bird of prey stamp which I carved myself. The raven/bird of prey is based on a find from the Vendel era in Gotland, Sweden, 7th century.
