Featured Framed ceremonial outfit?

Found this on an auction site and am wondering if anyone knows what it is . . . The description is, “Framed Medieval Theme Art”. Just doesn’t seem correct to me.

The frame measures 42” x 24”.

 

I agree that’s a interesting but odd description. At first glance the obvious thought is belly dancing..

 

I was thinking Barbie doll homebrew.(LOL) But it does look like a face mask.

 

Too bad the Met gala is over.

 

Are those coins? If so, where from?

 

did u buy it or is this the only photo?

 

It appears to be an Egyptian Sinai Bedouin woman's face veil.

 

Show Me The MONEY !!!!! ...........................................................

 

Yes, I zoomed in to confirm they’re coins, with what appears to be middle eastern lettering but that was also a guess.

 

Thank you! I knew the wealth of knowledge here would help!

 

Wow—almost like finding a sibling!

 

No, I didn’t purchase-a friend was asking if I had a better description but I was clueless.

 

Any suggestions what I should tell her if she’s thinking of buying? This type of item is way outside my skill set. At a minimum, if she wants it as art, I can tell it needs to be re-matted (looks like some mold spots at the bottom).

 

tell her everything you've learned here.......

 

A friend of mine had one framed just like that. He got it from southern Palestine/Israel.

 

Why can't WE wear these around?

 

Certainly makes more of a statement than a KN-95 surgical mask!

 

Got the link in case anyone wants to examine it more closely. The coins look old, but I’ve never studied up on the area so may be just my imagination.
