Description
The Skjoldehamn Cowl was discovered in a pagan grave from the first half of the 11th century. This is one of the first examples of the headgear \"Gugel\" itself.

The hood has a basic square shape, characteristically the wide brim ends with a corner on the chest.

The grave find from Skjoldehamn raised many questions since its recovery in 1936 and still occupies today. According to current research, the dating of the pagan grave in the marshland is the first half of the 11th century. The hood of the gugel from Skjoldehamn has a simple square basic shape and a very wide brim, which does not fall round, but with a corner on the chest. This gugel is also a very early example of the type of headgear that became a ubiquitous garment in Europe during the Middle Ages.

In the course of research, attempts were made to assign the garment to a gender and cultural group. For this purpose, not only the DNA of the buried person was examined more closely, but also the additional finds. The enclosed trousers determined the theory of the researchers that the person must have been male. DNA examination in 1999 showed no Y chromosome present in the bones, which supported the theory that it had to be a woman instead. However, this methodology is considered outdated.

The question of culture points to Norway. This is assumed by ornamentation and morphological features, which suggest that the buried person was a Sami tribal member. Further research is needed, as some key evidence for these hypotheses is still lacking. More modern DNA analysis and research into the history of the fashions of the various Sami groups will shed light on this.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband and the seller had it in my hands in less than a week! Based on the other reviews I was worried it would not fit my husband since he's a big guy, so I ruined the surpirse and had him try it on. Not only does the large fit perfectly, he LOVES it. The nice thick wool kept him very warm during a cold outdoor event.

Good quality of work. Note that the hood itself is surprisingly small compared to the part covering shoulders, chest and back.

I'd say I'm a bit hesitant to call what Burgschieder makes as simply reenactment clothing, as Ive been wearing their clothing for everyday wear while out hiking and exploring the wilds. Their clothing is comfortable, offers a great range of movement, feel natural and really have a great tailoring to them. Every type of material they offer is great and useful, and each seam and piece of fabric is durable yet simplistic. I can mend them myself if needed, but the quality is so nice, I've little concern to their longevity.

I have bought 3 pairs of pants, 4 tunics and a coke for myself, and I stand by each one of them for their great craftsmanship. 2 tunics and some pants for my son who just turned 5 and they are gonna last him longer than any piece of clothing you find at the store!

Slainte Mhath!
