[ kakoshnik ]
Kokoshnik
🔻Kokoshnik is an ancient Russian headdress in the form of a fan or a round shield around the head. Everyone, including unmarried girls, could wear a kokoshnik.
🔻The word “кокошник” itself appeared for the first time in documents of the 17th century. They were worn by all women.
🔻Kokoshnik also found its way into court costume. Even Catherine II, emphasizing her closeness to the Russian people, happily posed for portraits in it and encouraged her courtiers to appear in kokoshniks for balls and masquerades.
🔻Nowadays, this headdress is gaining popularity again: the revival of Russian traditions in a modern form. Women prefer low hairbands in the shape of the Russian kokoshnik, decorated with jewelery or with patterns.
