Vintage headpiece band has a new fabric backing with a bit of beading across the top edge. This is a large piece in a typical Turkoman style. Traditionally these are worn at the front of a hat with the dangles draping over the forehead, and it most certainly could still be worn in that fashion. However many dancers attach these to costume belts which works perfectly for dance. There are ties at each side of the band, but could easily be secured to costuming by sewing the backing to fabric.
