In the 10th and 11th centuries, it was customary for Anglo-Saxon women to cover their heads as a sign of modesty and propriety. This large white linen Saxon hood reflects that historical tradition, providing full coverage of the head, ears, neck, and shoulders. Worn with pins or bands, it offers both authenticity and comfort for medieval reenactments, LARP, or Renaissance fairs. Pair it with our Ailith Saxon Tunic C1455 (sold separately) to complete a truly historically accurate Anglo-Saxon costume.
