<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 444538, member: 2844&quot;]I was considering that about the hat. I only know them in metal, though.</p><p>It was worn in the Syrian influenced nations, of which Lebanon was one. The others were Palestine, Jordan, and Syria proper, of course.</p><p>It was also worn by the Arab/Moorish and Jewish populations in North Africa.</p><p>This is the Palestine tantour:</p><p><img src="http://www.palestineheritage.org/Newsle52.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.palestineheritage.org/Newsle5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lebanese tantour:</p><p><img src="https://365daysoflebanondotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/1b89414748d36a07c38d4b97a051ea85.jpg?w=700&amp;h=" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Druze tantour:</p><p style="text-align: left"><img src="http://www.trmkt.com/pics/tantour.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The North African Moorish/Jewish type is slightly wider, and covered with filigree. It is called a sarma.</p><p><br /></p><p>The doll itself looks Italian, and the clothing looks too European to be Middle Eastern or North African I think. It is also wearing an apron, which is not a Levantine custom.</p><p>I seem to remember a high conical hat being worn somewhere on Sardinia, where they also wear a lot of black and red, and white lace ruffles, but I would have to dig out my Sardinian costume book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
