The Medina Azahara Turban Headband
Limited edition made in Spain, mustard gold, nude pink, mauve, dark blue and forest green lush velvet elastic turban headbands.
These headbands are inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage listed La Medina Azahara, which are the ruins of a vast, fortified Andalus palace-city built in the 10th Century serving as the capital of the region al-Andalus for the Caliphate of Córdoba. It was a symbol of it’s Caliph Abd-ar-Rahman III’s power and legend says it was built as a tribute for his favourite wife, Azahara. For over 800 years the Moors ruled a large part of Spain and didn’t just bring amazing architecture, they brought with them a wealth of culinary products, their beautiful Arabian horses, public libraries, astronomy, science, mathematics, geography and philosophy.
