==ScarfHeadscarf==
===English Headscarf===
'''[[POOR]] All Periods [[Allowable]]'''
The drawing to the left is from Almgeren’s ‘The Viking’, published in 1966, where he introduced the idea of Viking women wearing a simple headscarf.
Currently we have neither artistic nor archaeological evidence to support such a garment. It is allowed purely because some sort of simple head covering must have been worn by the POOR to cover their hair.
===Viking Headscarf or Headband===
A simple rectangle of cloth that can either be worn as a headscarf or by folding it into thirds, as a headband. The short ends of the rectangle are usually tasselled. May be worn by Vikings on or off the Wic.<br>
Sizes vary between 15x60cm (6“x23½”) to 24x70cm (9½“x27½”).
