Chain traditionally worn by Palestinian women
The iznaq is a chin chain traditionally worn by Palestinian women, suspended from a headdress called the "shatweh". It is crafted from hand-made silver chains, hooks, and festooned with Ottoman era coins. It can include floral or star shaped ornaments and a cross for Christians.
Use.
It was common for villagers to adorn themselves with modest iznaqs featuring either single or double chains, however in Bethlehem and the surrounding villages, the iznaq included several chains and other intricate embellishments.
