tantour
The tantour (tantoor) is a form of cone-shaped women's headdress similar to the hennin, popular in the Levant during the nineteenth century, but seldom seen after 1850 outside of use as a folk costume. The tantour was usually only worn by wealthy noblewomen and often decorated with precious jewels and pearls, with most expensive tantours being made of gold or silver. Being an honored headdress, the tantour was a customary gift presented to the bride by her husband on their wedding day.
