Four-panel Hat for Eastern Viking Women
If you've been looking for more evidence for hats to wear as a Viking persona, you may want to consider the Alanic hat discovered at Moschevaya Balka. There's a photo in Ierusalimskaja's 1996 Die Gräber der Moshchevaja Balka: Frühmittelalterliche Funde an der Nordkaukasischen Seidenstrasse, which is available in digital format here, along with its German caption.
Scholars have been using the Moschevaya Balka caftans to reconstruct the Birka coats, so there's precedent for this methodology.
