cover face
The Bourkou is usually brown or orange and illustrates four important aspects of veiling In Bedouin society:
(1) Modesty : after puberty , a female should not have her face seen by non-closely related males.
(2) Bridewealth and social states: The amount of silver a women can display on her body is a source of pride to her,
(3) Aesthetics :women consider their veils to be a vital part of their personal style of beautification and adornment
(4) Religion and magic : Items sewn onto or woven into the face mask have amuletic hijab dimensions. For example , the
color blue is worn to ward off the evil eye , carnelian is used to insure fertility, coral is believed to
help secure prosperity, and amber is intended to bring good health.
