Vodice / Vodizze

This head is in Vodice, a little village up in the mountains north of Buzet. It s unusual in that it has a mustache and what looks to me like a Doge's cap. An interesting combination. Have any of the Dodges sported a mustache or was it the sculptor's fancy?  Or is the head just wearing a nightcap? :-)
