Frontlets

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.
