I'm at work on an English gable hood, as seen in this image: http:// commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Gablehood_front-back_c1535_detail.jpg

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.
