coronet

Nobleman's small crown

A coronet is a small crown, typically worn by nobility ranking below a monarch.

The design varies by rank—a duke's coronet differs from a baron's.

By extension, coronet describes any crown-like ornament or headpiece: a coronet of flowers, a coronet braid.

In anatomy, the coronet is the part of a horse's hoof where horn meets skin.
