The Sindhi cap
This is a hat worn mainly by people in Balochistan Sindh and by Pashtun people that live in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It is a part of Sindhi and Saraiki culture.
In Sindhi culture, the hat is given as a gift of respect.
Fully authentic Sindhi caps are handwoven and involve many hours of hard work
Intricate patterns are embroidered on the hat, and very often small pieces of mirror and gemstones are also sewed into it.
The hat is almost a typical pillbox shape, (similar to a smoking cap or Kufi hats) the big difference is the arched shape cut out in the front to expose part of the forehead.
