Traditional Bridal headdress in Kyrgyzstan!

Shokulo This is a traditional bridal headdress in Kyrgyzstan. It is a conical hat adorned with furs, feathers, jewels, or small amulets,. This hat used to be kind of a showcase of the family’s wealth – people tried to make it as ornate as they could afford. The shokulo is still used for traditional-style weddings and folk festivals, but modern Kyrgyz brides rarely wear it for their wedding.
