Many castings of Pict cloaks have tassles on them.

How should these be painted? Are they animal tails or textiles?

Any period information?

Thank you to all, in advance.

I hope this link help, it has a picture of a surviving hood. I expect the cloak would be wool with woolen tassels.

Not sure I'd call those tassels. More like a selvage fringe like you get on wool blankets but very long.

There is a statue from Mondragon, France which shows a Celtic warrior with a fringed cloak and many Roman trophies show fringed cloaks.

Modern kilts have one edge fringed representing this ancient tradition.

So yeah, same colour as fabric it's part of.
