A colleague needs quickly to locate an image he remembers seeing of a woman
with a distaff stuck in her headdress. I'm sure I've seen this one too -- I
have a vague impression that she was walking or going about other work, with a
very small distaff stuck into a hat or turban or wrapped veil.
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
We don't need a reproducible image, just a citation, to the original
manuscript or a secondary source.
Please feel free to forward this request elsewhere, if you know of someone who
might have the answer offhand.
Thanks,
Robin
