See: Hidden Treasures, Collection of Jewish Art from Galicia from the Museum of Ethnographies and Art in Lvov (published by "Beit Hatfutsot" - Diaspora Museum, Tel-Aviv. 1994), Items 166-171, where "atarot" of similar size are classified as "atarot" for kittels (and "atarot" with panels and reinforced by cardboard, as those which were probably used as atarot for a kittel).
