Orkney
This hood, found on the island Orkney and dated to year 250-615, is
similar to roman cucullus, and is considered to be a part of a viking
dress. The lower edge is decorated with tightly braided ropes
approximately 0.5 cm thick and 30-35 cm long, about 8-10 ropes per 1
cm. The hood was found minimally damaged in 1867. The scale is not
exact.
