This week I've learned a lot about these super cute headpieces called Nun's crown.


This particular one is more elaborate than most, but pretty cute with all the extra flowers and things on it.

It's from the tomb of María de Villalobos in the cathedral of Lisbon in Portugal. So that was another rabbit hole I ended up in.
