TLDR: Is Balenni the "Iconic Succubus?"

The first time I saw Balenni her headband struck me as an interesting design. Well today I was flipping through Bestiary 1 and something caught my eye (and not the usual eye catch on succubus images in ttrpgs). She's wearing the same headband!

Is this common Succubus gear? They don't have an items line so, apparently not as far as I can tell. Maybe someone more versed in the lore/items might recognize it? Is this a specific item? A symbol of some deity or belief? Is Balenni the Succubus from the Bestiary? We deserve answers.

Possibly, or a case of the artist being given the succubus in the Bestiary as the Reference and they made Balenni too close to the original art rather than taking cues, it's happened before.

This or an intended visual clue (Although could be a bit metagamy if thats the case.)
