The Kokoshnik Headdress is a festive headdress for women, an irreplaceable part of the Russian national costume. The name stems from the old Russian word kokosh – meaning hen or rooster – since the raised frontal element resembles a bird’s crest or comb. The style and decoration of the kokoshnik revealed a lot about its owner, like the social and marital status. For example, an open kokoshnik in the shape of a crown was only worn by unmarried girls and women.
