Perrine and Mane's book on costume gives one explanation, but since they don't footnote anything, it's difficult to know if they are right. I know that metal headpieces of the same shape are found in pre-and Islamic graves in central Asia. One source I have read (and I cannot remember which, since it was years ago) said it came to Europe due to contacts with the Islamic countries.
It's the word, not the shape, I'm trying to track ... or am I missing something? --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
