Re: [Cz-L] Iuliu Barasch's Travel Log - Stage 6: What is a Sterntikhl/Sternbindel?

I assume that strictly orthodox Jewish women covered not only their
hair,
but also part of their forehead. To better have the coverings stay in
place,
they covered their forehead with one cloth and their hair with another.
Either because of modesty or because of poverty, the larger headscarf
was usually quite simple. But the Sterntichel was small, only visible
from the front
and only worn on festive occasions, therefore it could be made of silk
and decorated with embroidery and precious stones.
