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. |

link 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. link 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. |
