In some places of former Baltic Prussia, in the 19th century, the bride's kyka was worn: a very tall cylinder-shaped headdress made of black velvet or felt and decorated with gold-coloured baubles. It seems that there were some with an open and a closed top. Narrow wreaths of flowers were attached to their upper edge, and in some areas, silk ribbons stretched across the back.

In the photo, a bride's kyka, found in Rusnė.

Historical and modern examples of the Intifada thobe. Israel banned the Palestinian flag during the first Intifada, so women would sew it into their dresses.
