Tülbend

A Tülbend is a traditional head covering worn in Central Asia, especially among Turkic peoples. Made from fabric such as silk or cotton, it is often decorated with intricate patterns and sometimes beads or embroidery. The Tülbend functions both as a cultural symbol and as protection against the elements, like sun or wind. It can be wrapped around the head in various styles, signifying different social or regional identities. Historically, it reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the cultures that use it, blending practical use with aesthetic and cultural significance.
