*Jen’s note: I think it’s 14th C at the latest by the the beadwork and brakteats on it. It’s more typical of 13-14th work from pieces at Halberstadt Dommuseen. For this reason I’ve recategorized it as 14th instead of 15th.

Thank you for taking these exclusively for this site!

As an aside, I’ve been experimenting duplicating the fringe on this page (and like the one here). I’ve put up a page of the method used, here, mostly because it made my brain itch. I figured some one might find use for it. Click the picture for more.
