frontlet
Band across brow
A frontlet is an ornament or band worn on the forehead.
In Jewish tradition, frontlets refer to phylacteries—small leather boxes containing scripture, bound to the forehead during prayer.
The word also describes the forehead markings or plumage on animals, particularly the distinctive coloring on a bird's face: the golden frontlet of the hummingbird.
