In the 10th and 11th centuries, it was customary for Anglo-Saxon women to cover their heads, as an uncovered head was seen as improper. This black 100% cotton Saxon hood is designed to reflect that tradition, offering full coverage of the head, ears, neck, and shoulders. It features a long tail at the back for added authenticity and can be secured with pins or bands, just like in the early medieval period. Pair it with our Frideswide Saxon Tunic C1461 (sold separately) for a complete and historically accurate Anglo-Saxon costume, perfect for reenactments, LARP, or Renaissance fairs.
