Morphology

turbanned = turban (transparent) = turban + ed

Built transparently from 'turban' + '-ed'; the extended use to describe objects 'covered or topped' by cloth arranged like a turban remains a predictable adjectival extension.

Etymology

The word turbanned comes from turban, a cloth from Persian and Turkish you 'wrap' like a hat. That's why we can call a hill, tower, or vase turbanned when it is 'covered' or topped as if wearing that wrapped hat.
