Altarpiece of the Lamentation (central) ?
They look like tassels to me. I'm not a religious iconography expert,
but I bet she's supposed to be Mary Magdalen, and that would be Mary in
the black robes and white headdress. No idea who the third woman in back
is. I wouldn't count on her clothing being too accurate. It looks a
little "exotic" for the time and place of the painting. By comparison,
there's the donors in front in the fur-lined robes.
