Skjoldehamn Hood – 16th century Tudor rose print – red / white – Large – heavyweight 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 heavyweight linen fabric by hand using a Tudor rose stamp which I carved myself. The 16th century Tudor rose was inspired by/based on 16th century artwork.
