After sharing my initial research as well as my work in progress about the “basket” headdress also known as the Karelian headpiece or in Finnish – sykerö (tiara), finally I’m ready to share the finished version of this headpiece.
In these photos I have looped a narrow band of tablet weaving (that I purchased) through the ribbon loops on the headpiece to secure it. I have a narrow band of linen over my hair to protect it from getting snagged by the wires, and over it have a linen veil which I’ve just simply pinned at the back.
