It
is possible that the representations are:
o
Bare head – Spiritual development, refinement or purity.
w
Crown – Worldly power (e.g. political).
h
Helmet or other headgear – Authority (e.g. Spiritual), according
to type of headgear.
oo
Floppy hat – ?Some sort of mystical significance &/or
universal power.
I
cannot at present account for all the Court headgear by this
analysis.
