Mongolian woman's headdress

It is believed that Mongolian women's headdress dates back to the 16th century. There are more than twenty major clans and tribes in Mongolia, most of them belong to the Khalkhs, and each tribe has its own unique style of clothing and ornaments.

Since the 16th century, Mongolian women have decorated their hair with a lot of pure white silver jewelry with patterns. At that time, a retro necklace worn by a wife showed the rank and status of the owner of the house, so the richer he was, the more elaborate jewelry he used.

When a Mongolian woman marries her husband, she braids her hair in two strands and decorates it with a wife's jewelry according to the local custom. The wives of the Central Khalkh wear a silver hair clip in the middle of their hair and an oval hair clip in the front. On his head, he puts a silver crown with precious stones on his forehead and wears a hat on top of it. Place 6-8 silver clips in the middle of the hair that has been laid on both sides, and place an oval clip at the junction where the hair will be put into the pole or silver hair. Tuiv also refers to a silver ornament with patterns and inlays on the top of the hair tie made of cloth. The pendant hanging from the headband is called sanchigi and consists of 3, 5, 7, 9 pronged pearl necklaces.
