The blemish of baldness Avas upon him. Whiter than the cotton of the mountains is every hair that grows upon his head. He had U-Nasca or ear-clasps of gold in his ears, and a speckled, glossy cloak upon him".
The second reference to this ornament is found in the same important tale of the Court of Da Derg^ where the harpers are described in the following words : — ^^^^^ " I saw nine ethers in front, with nine bushy, curling heads of hair, nine light blue floating cloaks upon them, and nine broo...ches of gold in them. Nine crystal rings upon their hands ; an Ordnasc or thumbring of gold upon the thumb of each of them; Au- Chuimriuch or ear-clasps of gold upon the ears of each ; a Muinche or torque of silver around the neck of each".
There is another little ornament called a Gihne, connected with the head, which, I think, ought not to be overlooked here: it is the band or thread which was tied around the head to keep the hair down on the forehead and in its place otherAvise. This ornament, however, appears to have been more particu- larly a badge of office, peculiar, but not exclusively so, to chariot- drivers, and the only instances of it that I remember, except one, are connected with Laegh, the son of Rian Gabhra, charioteer to the celebrated champion Cuchulaind.
