Italian
breviary, c. 1380. Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
Now, here we have almost identical piece to
the one here. And even ten tyears earlier. A tied turban
style padded filet. Not only is it from the same period,
(in fact within ten years of each other, ) it is used with
the same hairstyle, and almost identical garb. Tha lady
in purple - it appears to be studded with pearls, this on
is absoulutly covered in beads, these in fact, appear to
be multicolored. If they aren't then the underlying material
is multicolored orn striped in some way.I would assume that
this piece would be wrapped and pinned around the head tightly.
