Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

I am hoping that one (or some) of you might be able to answer a 
question posed by one of my colleagues.  This colleague is a sculptor 
who has been commissioned to carve a statue (in wood) of St. David of 
Wales.  He wishes to portray the saint in historically accurate (or at 
least plausible) garb.  My question is, can any of you inform me (or 
direct me to helpful sources) about Welsh clerical garb, specifically 
archepiscopal dress, of circa 600?  I was, alas, rather stumped.  Being 
constantly astonished by the tremendous erudition of the members of 
this list, I thought that there might be someone out there who could 
enlighted me on this vexing topic.   

Many thanks.
