It’s been a pleasure to work with renowned photographer Felix Kunze (https://instagram.com/felixkunze) and Ariun Sanjaajamts from #MongoliaC
A lovely modern reproduction of the famed Mongol boqta (bohkta, boqtaq). If you the accounts of non-Mongol authors discussing their encounters with Mongol culture, if they discuss Mongol women, will almost always mention the boqta.
Was the origin of the cone-shaped princess hats of western Europe? I can't say. I've heard the claim several times, but not with evidence to back it up. They certainly share a similar idea and structure, but clothing styles transmitted by cultural exchange is a tough thing to pin down in a medieval context. If anyone has any thoughts or knowkedge on that matter, I'd love to hear it.
