yashmak

Their faces are veiled with something like the yashmak of Egypt, but it is of plain blue calico, a little embroidered.

I would make a sensation in Bosna-Seraj, I can tell you, attired only in this and a yashmak.

She wore no yashmak, for Selim, though professing the Moslem faith, was somewhat lax in carrying out its articles.

The lady of the yashmak, he informed me, was a member of the household of a wealthy Moslem in the neighborhood of Damascus.
