This is a stunning, highly decorative Igal (or Agal), the traditional corded headpiece used to secure a ghutra or shemagh. Unlike standard daily-wear versions, this piece features elaborate ceremonial craftsmanship, making it a standout example of Middle Eastern textile art. The piece is constructed with several rigid segments, each meticulously hand-wrapped in vibrant silk and metallic-style threads. The pattern alternates between brilliant gold, ivory, forest green, crimson red, and black. Thick silk tassel "knots" serve as the joints between the segments, providing the traditional weighted feel.
