Medieval Pennant, Headscarf, Natural

Medieval Pennant, Headscarf, Natural – The Veil of Ancestral Modesty

Lightness of linen and ancient tradition to cover the secrets of the soul

Among medieval illuminated chronicles and portraits, the image of a covered woman is not only a symbol of modesty, but also of identity and status. The medieval pennant , also known as a headscarf , faithfully recreates this ancestral legacy, becoming a versatile accessory for both historical reenactments and contemporary attire.

Made from natural, plain-weave cotton , this rectangular scarf can be worn in multiple ways: tied around the head in the medieval tradition, elegantly wrapped around the neck, or transformed into a turban or headband. Its rolled hemmed edges ensure a smooth drape and a neat appearance.

A symbol of decorum in the Middle Ages

For centuries, especially during the High and Middle Ages, head coverings were a social obligation for married women , with veils, caps, bonnets, or pennants. The pennant was wrapped around the face and concealed the hair, as a sign of modesty and belonging. Its use is documented in works such as the Maciejowski Bible or the 13th-century manuscripts of Rudolf von Ems .

Today, this piece can revive the medieval spirit at fairs, LARP, cosplay, or even as an alternative fashion accessory in everyday life.
