Moorish Turban from March 1812 Issue of La Belle Assemblée
The journal describes this turban as a "Moorish turban of white satin and coloured crape twisted in the front, the same colour as the gown, and fastened on the crown with a ruby ornament to correspond with the broaches."
This magnificent turban features three pearl tassels, flowers, and ropes of pearls for trim.
French Fashion Plate dated 1818
I can't tell if the spirals coming down from the head are tendrils of hair or some sort of trim hanging from the turban.

This gold and scarlet turban has some thick, short plumes on it. The proportions make it rather silly looking to my modern eye!
