headpiece
Ornamental head covering
A headpiece is something worn on the head—a helmet, a crown, an ornamental covering.
The term extends to the part of a bridle that fits around a horse's head.
In printing and bookmaking, a headpiece is a decorative element at the top of a page or chapter opening.
Less commonly, headpiece is an old-fashioned or jocular term for the brain or intelligence: Use your headpiece.
