Focus on this artwork and analyze the Production.
Textile production changed drastically from the Early to Late Middle Ages. Textiles were made using a number of materials - predominantly wool which was fabricated using various types of looms. Archaeological studies have found that before the 11th century, textiles were predominantly made using vertical looms, while after this point, great innovation in the textile industry gave way to the use of horizontal looms. This evolution in technology meant that more complex patterns could be achieved. Textiles were made by skilled female workers in textile factories. Later, hydraulic mills came to the forefront of textile production. Materials were dyed using dye extracted from organic substances such as insects. As the making of the headwear was very intricate, the escoffion was hand-crafted by skilled craftsmen or women and could take a matter of months to be completed, depending on the complexity of the piece. More recently, various types of medieval headwear, including the escoffion, have been re-made as a form of arts and crafts or for costume purposes for medieval conventions or theatrical work. Various examples of the modern fabrications of the escoffion appear on sites like Pinterest.
