Robert, Your reminding me that Indian women also wear these helped me find pictures of it, along with a description of how it's attached (to the hair with a small hook). It's transliterated a number of ways, but "maang tikka" is what they call it in India. Now maybe I can find what the Roman's called it.
Thanks, Robert.
