| | Susan Reed: Headdress Type Classification Definition |
 | | These headdress-type definitions were written so that a person who was analyzing the headdresses in visual sources could place them either in one type or another. |
 | | Cauls consist of: net gathered into band (which may or may not be seen), cloth gathered along circumference of band (similar to a shower cap), or cloth gathered at front and back in radiating pleats. |
 | | Headdress used for religious or secular ceremonies such as masses, coronations, addresses to parliaments, headdress used to denote social rank, or headdress used to denote stock figures such as fools, angels, allegorical characters, Magi, Moors, Jews, or Asian, African, or other exotic peoples (from the perspective of the person of these two centuries). |
