A Female Mongol Headdress in Old Uyghur Secular Documents

Abstract

Research on the Old Uyghur secular documents has become an ever more important branch of Old Turkic studies, and many relevant publications have seen the light of day. The manuscripts provide a glimpse into the daily life and material culture of the Uyghurs. However, the terminology of some areas of life still needs in-depth investigations. Especially in the semantic field of textiles and clothing several lexical items are still unexplained. The present article identifies one such item, kükü, as a designation of the high embroidered headdress of married Mongol women, adopted from Chinese gugu.
