This rectangular shawl is made from plain cotton fabric. The edges are finished with a rolled hem.

In the Middle Ages it was common for married women to cover their heads (hence the expression "get under the hood "). Medieval forms of head covering included veils, hoods, caps, headbands, headscarves or pennants.



There were several techniques for creating the pennant. It was wrapped around the forehead, chin and nape of the neck and always covered the hair. Historical depictions of a pennant can be found, for example, in The World Chronicle - The Weaver - Charlemagne , an illuminated parchment manuscript by Rudolf von Ems written around 1300, or in the Maciejowski Bible (also Crusader Bible ), an illustrated Bible from the 13th century.
