Owen-Crocker describes this garment as a ‘symmetrical cloak which could be draped over the head and which was sometimes fastened by a central brooch.’ [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.212]. I prefer to use the term palla as this implies the use of a lighter cloth than that would usually have be used for a cloak.
