A lovely bridal headdress from Kazakh people, saukele. Saukeles are very long and uniquely decorated pieces. They also symbolize a status. They can be made from silk, felt etc. They are red since red has the meaning of abundance and protection in Turkic culture. I will try to make a post about the importance of colour red in Turkic cultures in the future too:)
