/* Veil */
|Archaeology=
* Dublin, Ireland: One large silk fragment was found (DHC17) which is described as a veil-type cloth by Wincott Heckett. It was 87cm (minimum) long and 24cm wide and had been dyed purple with lichen. [WINCOTT HECKETT 2003:p.29]The width of this fragment is however too small to be the garment depicted in the art work which covers the entire head.
