incredible what is attached here, a lot to see - fascinating! (for people like me who don't know everthing, what is a Labba?) - worn around the neck, on the head ? Looks lovely.

Interesting question Eva, I have always seen this as a necklace but maybe it was used as a veil??

I love this on the cloth! Very nice piece

I have seen this type before with the fabric still in tact, I do believe these are Labbeh like the ones without and were used as necklaces.
