Sac Bagi – Hair Band Turkish Symbols Charm

The Sac Bagi Hair Band motif suggests a longing for marriage. In Anatolian villages, it is customary for females to grow their hair out until they are married. The bride also wears a hair band during the wedding ceremony as an adornment. These hair bands can be fashioned of black cord wool and embellished with beads, seashells, gold thread, horsetail, and double-twisted silk thread, among other materials. The styles, forms, and representational patterns of various hair bands vary depending on the location.
