The Carocha ( Spanish coroza ) (or Ketzermitra ) was a cone-shaped headgear made of cardboard that certain defendants of the Spanish Inquisition had to wear with the Sanbenito during the car dairy and later on the way to execution . The Carocha was often decorated with images that alluded to the act committed or the punishment to be carried out.
