Iron Age woollen cloak

The Orkney Hood is an Iron Age garment, now in the collection of National Museums Scotland. It is in the form of a woollen hood with tablet-woven trim and fringe.

The hood was found in 1867, in a peat bog in Tankerness, within the parish of St. Andrews in the Orkney Islands.
