Violet Cap

The cap of a Sovereign Grand Inspector General is of circular violet silk.

It is surrounded with a violet band slightly darker than the cap itself, and this is trimmed in gold. The band is adorned with laurel vine, leaf, and berry.

The cap has a gold cord, which extends across its top, and is affixed at both sides by a gold button, which is embossed with a double-headed eagle.

The front of the cap is adorned by a slanted purple two-armed Patriarchal Cross with crosslets, which is trimmed with gold bullion wire.
