There are three rolls on the shoulders, and three rows of jewels in gold mounts descend from the neck and shoulders and converge to the point of the waist where the belt of jewels (girdle - gogm) encircles it.

On the sleeves and down the front of the skirt distended by the Spanish farthingale (verdugado - gogm) are set loops of silk with two elaborate jeweled aiglettes on each. This type of decoration became most popular during the second half of the sixteenth century and is seen in many portraits of all nationalities.
