Tantour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tantour (tantoor) is a form of cone-shaped women's headdress similar to the hennin, popular in the Levant during the nineteenth century, but seldom seen after 1850 outside of use as a folk costume.[1][2]

The tantour was a customary gift presented to the bride by her husband on their wedding day.[3]
