It was of great height, nearly cylindrical, but with a slight tendency to swell out toward the crown, which was ornamented with a row of feathers round its entire circumference.

The space below was patterned with rosettes, sacred trees, and mythological figures.

From the centre of the crown there rose above the feathers a projection resembling in some degree the projection which distinguishes the tiara of the Assyrian kings, the rounded, and not squared, at top.

This head-dress, which has a heavy appearance, was worn low on the brow, and covered nearly all the back of the head.

It can scarcely have been composed of a heaver material than cloth or felt.
Probably it was brilliantly colored.
The monarch wore bracelets, but (apparently) neither necklaces nor earrings.
