Kelaghayi

The kelaghayi is a square silk headscarf. The silk is dyed with natural colours and then block-printed with wooden stamps; the most famous motif is the buta.

Colour carries meaning: red and crimson scarves are worn at weddings and holidays, black ones in mourning. Shaki and Basgal are the best-known centres.

"Traditional art and symbolism of Kelaghayi, making and wearing women's silk headscarves" was inscribed on UNESCO's intangible heritage list in 2014.
