Iberian/Celtic Beret
This photograph of a stone carving depicting a man wearing a beret, comes from this web site on Celtic / Iberian finds. Apart from the description (below), no information on it's age and exact origin, but if this is a real prehistoric artifact, the story of the beret's origin through Noah's arc becomes a lot more acceptable...
