Frontlets
This category includes jewelry that is worn around the head, usually across the forehead.
Frontlets are usually strips of metal that are worn around the head. They can be divided into different categories:
Fillets are one strip of metal worn around the head.
Diadems are a strip of metal with an oval piece worn around the head.
Brims are a chain of metal with three large beads worn around the head.
Since these are not definate definitions, they have not been subdivided out.
