A number of small tasseled woven scarves of wool and silk were found in Viking Age Dublin. The scarves range head coverings from 21-24cm wide and ?-? long. Dublin date from the early 10th century to the mid 12th century <br>

** 10 woolen woollen scarves [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.4] Where some complete dimensions could still be established (5 scarves) the width ranged from 15cm to 24cm, averiging a width of 20.2cm. None of the woolen scarves were complete enough to establish an origianal length, but the longest fragment was 52cm long. [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.113]** 6 silk scaves scarves [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.4] Where the complete original widths of the silk scarves could be established (6 scarves) the width ranged from 15cm to 23cm, averiging 20cm. The original length could be established for 3 of the silk scarves and were 61cm, 59.5cm and 70cm long, averiging 63.5cm. [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.113] Dye was found on three of the silk scarves, two were dyed with madder (red), one with woad (blue). [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.4, 128]

Wincott Hecket Heckett has put forward a number of possible ways that these scarves may have been worn [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.5]The average size, assuming the silk and wool scarves were the same size which the established widths suggest, the scarves were about 20cm wide and 63cm long (including the tassels), but with some variations in both directions from these measurements. A human hair was found in DHC16, a woollen scarf, suggesting these were head coverings.[WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.134]<br>
