Spanish term

cornezuelos

Spanish to English Art/Literary Archaeology
This is from Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva España by Bernardino de Sahagún. It appears to be out of print in English (and I can't find electronic copies) and so I'm having to translate a number of paragraphs. This one is talking about hairstyles:

y también usaban traer los cabellos largos hasta la cinta: y otras traían los cabellos hasta las espaldas; y otras traían los cabellos largos en una parte y otra de las sienes y orejas y toda la cabeza tresquilada: y otras traían los cabellos torcidos con hilo prieto de algodón y los tocaban a la cabeza y ansi lo usan hasta agora, haziendo de ellos, como unos cornezuelos sobre la frente; y otras tienen mas largos los cabellos y cortan igualmente el cabo de los cabellos, por hermosearse, y entorcéndolos y atándolos, parecen ser todas iguales; y otras trasquilaban toda la cabeza.
