A cap and bells is a type of fool's cap, a cap with bells worn by a court fool or jester.[1]
The cap and bells could be in the following forms: [2]
- with "ass's ears" and an "ass's tail", often curling forward[2][3]
- with two horns[2]
- with a "cockscomb" crest[2]
Bells were also added to the dangling sleeves.[2] The bells announced the appearance of the jester.[3]
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.[4]
