Hi,
Ah yes sudently i remember a picture with that. I think it is a kind of mask
to protekt the face from frost in the winter. Its not a head dress but a
mask.
From what i remember, it was only a short period it was used.

Subject: [h-cost] 17th Century question
My costume design class is researching the 1660's for "Tartuffe". They
had
a question about the strange little head piece seen on some ladies of
the
period. It is a little disk attached to the forehead with a protruding
stick
and ball attached to the end. What is that? Is it worn for a special
occasion
or in a particular part of Europe? It seems to occur primarily in "Low
Countries" research. Can anyone give me some information. Sometimes
(usually),
the teacher doesn't know everything. They are awaiting your response.
Thanks ever so much!
