Another Woman With a Hat
Donor, 1455. Here is an excellent example of a "truncated hennin". Note the beadwork on the cone and the almost invisible transparency of her veil. (As a side note, although I could not find any good examples, in the 12th century, blond was the desired color for women's hair. I just had to add that so I could gloat a bit... ;-)
