he head gear generally seen with these gamurre consisted of a variety of things. The ghirlanda--a padded roll, often highly embellished; the balzo--a large rounded headdress, sometimes covered in false hair and decorated; corna--a horned headdress worn with veils; the trinzale and coazzone as seen in Figure 1--the 'Juliet cap' and fabric covered pony-tail; often the hair was braided or twisted and taped or sewn onto the head, then wrapped with strips of silk or linen. There were also small fabric caps that covered the hair coiled on the head (Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6). Some of these caps had cords that tied under the wearer's chin. (Figure 5)
