The cap and bells is a type of fool's cap with bells worn by a court fool or jester.[1] The bells were also added to the dangling sleeves and announced the appearance of the jester.[2][3]
Forms
The cap and bells could be in the following forms:[2]
- Ass's ears and an ass's tail, often curling forward[2][3]
- Horns[2]
- Cockscomb crest[2]
- Royal court jester costume
- Bi-color coxcomb cap
- Fool's cap and masque
Other forms of fool's cap in England were shaped like a monk's cowl with ass's ears, a high-pointed cap covered with bells, or a round cap with an imposing feather.[4]
