Skjoldehamn Hood – winged cat & paw print – green (dark)/ gold – Medium – Dupioni Silk

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 Dupioni Silk fabric by hand using a winged cat & paw print stamp which I carved myself. This winged cat design is a collaboration with my friend Alex from ATSGalleries.com. Winged cat design copyright Alex Mehlhose/ATSGalleries.com – with friendly permission by ATSGalleries.com
