I'm at work on an English gable hood, as seen in this

Unfortunately I don't have a clear enough image to be able to answer
this question: Is there a round button at the center of the
converging triangles on the black "box" on the back of her head? I
think I see it, but I'm not sure.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I can't get the image to show up, but when I made my gable hood for
the Museum of London, I did not "see" a button." the shape of the
"pleats" on the box were formed simply by taking a tuck cross wise -
it is a bit lumpy where the pleats cross, and it certainly looked
pretty accurate, according to the Holbein drawing.
