calotte
Priest's small cap
A calotte is a skullcap, especially one worn by Roman Catholic clergy—cardinals wear red calottes, bishops wear purple, and the Pope wears white.
The term extends to any close-fitting cap covering the crown of the head.
In architecture, a calotte is a small dome or cupola, particularly one forming the ceiling of a niche or alcove.
