A Ladakhi lady is sitting on a Nubra Valley bridge. She is wearing a headdress called a Perak. Perak is the bridal headdress heavy with blue turquoise, coral, shells, and other precious stones. Perak sits atop the bride’s head and expands outwards from both sides. It runs from the bride’s forehead to the lower back. Black animal hair and yak felt are used to decorate the flaps. Perak is a prized possession, for it is considered a status symbol and is often passed down from mother to daughter.
