Tatar folk headdress called “tahja burek”, female conical hat adorned with gold and silver coins. They were popular in the 17th – mid-19th century in Tatarstan. Some of them were soft, with lots of coins sewn to the fabric. Others had a hard frame covered with silk, were shaped like a high cone, and embellished with coins, pearls, coral beads, and a gold peak.
