Oh, Wow, those are great! And it seems that the jeweled band I saw in front facing portraits was actually sitting farther back on the head, behind or on a plain band, with a caul being that. I guess from the front, with the hair poufs, the plain band would have been invisible, only the jeweled part sticking up high enough to be seen by the painter. One woman had 2 bands of jewels-Mary Harve(y)1593. Another had a very "proud" band but with a flat square on top, like a mortarboard-Joan Suckling 1589. Thank you, now I will re-think my headdress.

I do not want the French hood that covers the ears, rather I am looking for the fancy "roll" that sits further back on the head. I believe these were attached to a caul, but I'm not sure. Any advice/ideas/pictures/links would be appreciated.
