Thank you so much for posting this, it confirms the origin and purpose of an interesting ornament I saw offered as Iraqi (the forehead / hat belt.) I would be very interested in seeing other Iraqi Kurdish photos you have.
Hello Lynn,
I will post other pictures from museums in this album, if the picture's quality is good enough; to have a look at other material: see my Pinterest boards 10Ia (Iraq, women) & 10Ib (men/former Ottoman Arabic regions).
I have several of these Jewels myself (same kind of forehead ornaments), but we still have to take good pictures of them. Since our 'photo-studio' lies in a warehouse that is too large to warm during winter, we have to wait for warmer weather (which will happen soon, hopefully).
Greetings, JM.
