There is an article entitled, "Some notes on the external appearance
of ordinary women in Byzantium" by M. Emmanuel, that appeared in vol.
56 of a journal called Byzantinoslavica (1995, pp. 769-778). I saw
it referenced in one of Anna Muthesius' works [don't remember which
one] and sent for it via InterLibrary Loan because my library does
not have a subscription to this journal. The article ends very
abruptly and I'm wondering if I have a complete cite...
However, it does have a few line drawings of women's headdresses
along with descriptions of the original artwork that the author
researched so it might be of use to your friend. And if you find out
that there is another page or two of text, please let us know!!
HTH,

Subject: [h-cost] Byzantine Headresses
...
I am writing on behalf of a friend who is interested in doing some
Byzantine woman's headresses. She can only find a few basic styles
(I think she's actually only found one!) and is interested in
sources which might show her different options. Does anyone here
know of places which would be good to search?
