Kokoshnik
A Kokoshnik is a traditional Russian headdress worn by women, particularly in the 16th to 19th centuries. It is characterized by its tall, ornate shape, often adorned with embroidery, beads, and other decorative elements. The Kokoshnik symbolizes femininity and marital status, with different styles indicating various regions and social classes.
Typically made from fabric or metal, the Kokoshnik is often worn during cultural celebrations, folk dances, and weddings. It is an important part of Russian heritage and is associated with traditional costumes, such as the Sarafan, which is a long, flowing dress.
