These headbands are made of silk brocade. Our silk brocades fabrics are faithful replica sof original examples, mostly from Byzantium, and some others from the Middle East and Asia, all dating from the early Middle Ages. These headbands are ery useful to maintain a historical veil on the head.
Headbands are well known to historians: visible in illuminations, whether they are Carolingian, or Byzantines, they are also known among the Slavs andthe Rus thanks to the metal temporal rings which have been preserved inthe earth despite the years, unlike fabrics which degrade, and only few scraps remnants. Historians also know of textual mentions of these headbands.
Our headbands are composed of a silk panel (length 32-34cm) and linen laces on each side (approximately 2x25cm). We use linen laces that are both flexible and very resistant, in order to facilitate the tying of the headband around the head, also guaranteeing a beautiful fall of the knot.
Compatible for all head size, thanks to the linen laces!
