Product description
For every lady who wishes to dress like a medieval noblewoman! The bonnet has been made after illustrations in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century illuminated manuscripts from the north of Spain. For example, in the Golden Haggadah from 1320, made in Barcelona, women of high social standing such as Zipporah (the wife of Moses) and the Pharaoh's wife are depicted wearing such headgear.
Bonnets of this type were worn throughout Western Europe from approximately the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century. The bonnet may also be combined with, for example, a bycocket. In fourteenth-century England, it was fashionable to wear a bycocket over such a bonnet whilst out falconry or on horseback.
The headgear is crafted from cotton. It falls over the back in graceful folds. At the back, the bonnet can be fastened with cotton cords, so that it remains securely in place.
