Traditional Mexican wide-brimmed hat called “sombrero”. It is actually rather heavy (to keep it from falling off on windy Mexican plains). And sure enough, a sombrero is beautifully embellished with embroidery and other decorations.

Scythian traditional female headdress decorated with solid gold. The headdress is a reconstruction, and gold decorations are archaeological artefacts. Scythia was a region of Central Eurasia, the lands north-east of Europe and the northern coast of the Black Sea. Appr. the 11th century BC – the 2nd century AD.
The headdress on the photo belongs to the 4th-5th century B.C. It was found on the territory of modern Ukraine.

Traditional female headdresses of Uzbekistan. These skull-caps are called “tubeteika”. They are often ornate – embellished with embroidery, beading, sequins, and jewels. Traditionally, young girls wear 4 braids and put the headpiece on top. But modern females often wear their hair loose under the cap.
