Wisdom of Solomon 18:24
Deuterocanon
22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers. 23 For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living. 24 For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the daidem of his head. 25 Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.

Baruch 5:2
Deuterocanon
1 Take off the garment of your sorrow and affliction, O Jerusalem, and put on forever the beauty of the glory from God. 2 Put on the robe of the righteousness that comes from God; put on your head the diadem of the glory of the Everlasting; 3 for God will show your splendor everywhere under heaven. 4 For God will give you evermore the name, "Righteous Peace, Godly Glory."

Notes and References
"... Two Hebrew terms are used for the high priest’s turban (compare Baruch 5:2; Psalms of Solomon 2:21), but neither refers exclusively to high priestly headgear.263 On the one hand, the high priest daily wore a turban (Exodus 28:4, 37; 29:6; 39:31; Leviticus 8:9; compare 16:4), sometimes described as a fine linen turban (Exodus 28:39; 39:28) ... The golden head ornament was similar to the two gems of the shoulder-pieces of the ephod and the twelve gems and precious stones of the breastpiece in that it bore seal-like engravings (Exodus 28:36; 39:30). But rather than being inscribed with tribal names, the golden head ornament was instead engraved with the inscription “Holy to YHWH”. Later Hellenistic writers, however, described it as being engraved with apparently nothing but the sacred name or tetragrammaton (Wisdom of Solomon 18:24; Josephus, Antiquities 3.138) ..."
