skullcap
Close-fitting head covering
A skullcap is a small, brimless cap that fits closely over the crown of the head.
It refers to various head coverings worn for religious observance—the Jewish kippah, the Catholic zucchetto worn by clergy, or caps worn by Muslims during prayer.
Skullcap also names a genus of flowering plants (Scutellaria) whose blossoms resemble tiny helmets.
