Wow, the amazing ‘Orkney Hood’ is so well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than c. 1,600 years ago!

Found in peat in 1867, this remarkable woollen hood from Iron Age Orkney likely belonged to a child. AD250 - AD615

My photo shows a mannequin wearing a brown-coloured woollen hood with long knotted fringe on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. It was found in peat moss on the island of Orkney in 1867. Organic clothing rarely survives. This woven hood is remarkably well-preserved for its age. Radio-carbon dated to AD 250 - AD 615.

Níl cloch fágtha ar chloch — tá na hospidéil, na scoileanna, na moscanna, na séipéil, tithe na ndaoine agus fiú na pubaill ina raibh muintir Gaza ag foscadh ionsaithe, leagtha agus scriosta. Polasaí an rualoiscthe a thugtar de ghnáth ar chur chuige den chineál seo.

We visited a women's centre in the refugee camp in Adre in Chad set up by a refugee and social worker, Zahra Adam Khimes. The stories are very upsetting but the women there were really resilient and open and kind to each other www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Rape and sexual assault are used as weapons of war in Sudan. A refuge in Adre in Chad offers ‘a safe space for women and girls’ where they can make handicrafts and talk
