  • Santiago: pilgrims going to St. James' cathedral (Santiago de Compostela in Spain) wore a scallop shell (cockleshell) on their hats.
  • cockle hat: from one of Ophelia's mad songs (Hamlet, Act IV, scene 5):  
         How should I your true love know
         From another one?
         By his cockle hat and staff,
         And his sandal shoon.
