Headdress.

Native American Chief Headdress.
These headdress, or War bonnets as they were known, were made from eagle feathers - as they were considered to be the greatest and most powerful of all the birds. 






   

Aboriginal Headdress.
The headdress is built up on the head with twigs and bound by string, made from human hair, topped with emu feathers.













Breton Headdress.
Lace plays an integral part in Breton national dress, particularly in that most immediately-recognisable item, the varied and striking lace coiffe, or ladies' head-dress.



Keffiyeh Headdress.
The Keffiyeh is a traditional headdress typically worn by Arab men. Made of square cloth, usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head.
