GR translation: a white kerchief at her crown

[Mike Jing]

V656.1-4, P669.4-7   She comes riding into town on a stolen bicycle: a
white kerchief at her crown, fluttering behind in points, a distinguished
emissary from a drained and captured land, herself full of ancient title,
but nothing in the way of usable power, not even a fantasy of it.

The "crown" here refers to the top of her head, not an actual ornamental
headdress, is that correct?

The published translation thinks she is still wearing the silver crown she
wore in Part I, which I don't believe is the case here.
