    Beautiful silk and fine embroidery. What is the thread made of? Is it a metal or is it also silk?

  • ait ouakli May 22, 2013 at 11:13am

    Thelma , the thread is made of the cloth, to fix behind the head. the white is silk and silver.

    the form and sizes are differents from region to region
