Interesting hood configuration. This one gives me a bit of a theory. First layer of black coif, second layer of billement with flap attached at very top. It's this flap that is folded back on the top of the head.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Oliver who actually offered to go and take a photo of the full monument for me. It was very generous of him and much appreciated.

Lovely definition in this photo. Great angle of the headwear. I think I am developing a theory about this type of headdress.
