Hello, friends:
I'm hoping you can help me with a short question. In nearly all pictures of the First Emperor of Qin, he is depicted wearing a special headdress that has a very flat top and then what appear to be beads hanging down from either side. Is there a name for this type of headdress?
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Best,
Conrad

It is call Mian Liu (冕旒).
English Translation will just be "Crown with Tassels"

Thank you so, so much. I can't even tell you how much time I've spent looking for that information!
