chaplet

Garland for hair

A chaplet is a wreath or garland worn on the head, typically made of flowers or leaves.

In Catholic practice, a chaplet is a string of prayer beads shorter than a full rosary, used for specific devotions: She prayed the chaplet of Divine Mercy.

In architecture, a chaplet is a small molding carved to resemble a string of beads.
