The Kyrgyz Kalpak πŸ‡°πŸ‡¬

Kalpak is a white bell-shaped headgear worn by men with black motifs on its four panels and an upturned black rim.

The kalpak - which many Kyrgyz believe symbolises the country's snow-capped mountains - already has its own national day in the Central Asian nation.

In 2019 the headgear has been added to the Unesco’s cultural heritage list.

#Forests were legal institutions that were first introduced by the Normans (1066 onwards) in order to denote an area where the King or another magnate had legal authority to keep and hunt deer.

On top of this, they could make Forest Law, which carried real punishments.
