Notlar
Elaborate discs were worn as womenâs head ornaments in towns and villages throughout the Ottoman Empire. They were attached to the top of a cap or fez, and often had pendants hanging down from the rim. The details varied from place to place. In Egypt they were usually called â Kurs â, which is an Arabic word meaning disc. In the Balkans and Anatolia the Turkish name â tepelik â, meaning a little mound, was more common. This example was described as a âboss for a womanâs Tarboosh or Fez, Saracenic, from Cairoâ when it was acquired by the Museum in 1884.
