A keffiyeh is a type of traditional Middle Eastern headdress, typically made of cotton and adorned with a distinctive pattern of checks or stripes. It is commonly worn by men in Arab countries, as well as by people of other cultures as a fashion statement or a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The keffiyeh is often worn as a headscarf, wrapped around the head and neck to provide protection from the sun, wind, and sand, or as a face mask to protect against dust and pollution. It is also used as a symbol of national identity and has been adopted by various political groups as a sign of resistance or support for various causes.
