A type of headwear that typically covers the head in a similar fashion to a [[detached hood]] - that is, wound snugly around the head, leaving the face bare, but covering the jaw and ears. When worn in this fashion, it is also referred to as a barbette. 

Derived from [[medieval]] times, the wimple is most often seen in depictions of [[traditional nun]]s, where it is worn under a [[veil]], and often attached to a [[guimpe]] - this is a collar, usually white, that covers the shoulders.
