Klila
In Mandaeism, the klila () is a small myrtle (asa) wreath or ring (translated as "circlet" by E. S. Drower) used during Mandaean religious rituals. The klila is a female symbol that complements the taga, a white crown which always takes on masculine symbolism. The klila is used to adorn the drabsha, a wooden cross covered with a white cloth that is the main symbol of Mandaeism. Use in rituals
The klila is used during most Mandaean rituals, including masbuta, masiqta, and priest initiation rituals. In the Qolasta

Several prayers in the Qolasta are recited when consecrating and putting on the klila, including prayers 19, 46, 47, 61, and 79. In E. S. Drower's version of the Qolasta, prayers 305-329 are recited for the klila, as well as for the taga. Hazazban (or Haza-Zban) is mentioned in Qolasta prayers 19 and 27 as an uthra who sets wreaths (klila) upon the heads of Mandaeans who are performing masbuta. See also
