Cap and bells

The cap and bells is a type of fool's cap with bells worn by a court fool or jester. The bells were also added to the dangling sleeves and announced the appearance of the jester.
Forms
The cap and bells could be in the following forms:
- Ass' ears and an ass' tail, often curling forward
- Horns
- Cockscomb crest
- Royal court jester costume
- Bi-color coxcomb cap
- Fool's cap and masque
Other forms of fool's cap in England were shaped like a monk's cowl with ass's ears, a high-pointed cap covered with bells, or a round cap with an imposing feather.[unreliable source?]
