Manoah and his wife, the wife wearing a wimple

The wimple is a garment of mediaeval Europe worn by women. It is a cloth which usually covers the head and is worn around the neck and chin. Today it is worn by some nuns who still don the traditional habit, and some culturally conservative Europeans.
