I am not sure of the exact origin of the design of the Khan hood, but this example was made by Ken Hooke of Canada. He has taken the design and modernised it for today's wider range of falcons and hawks used in falconry. This model is tooled for decoration but it is a simple working type hood which gives a good fit and is durable for use in the field. For more information visit; www.falconryhoodsinternational.com
