This rather small headdress is secured on the head with pins. The west coast of Estonia, on the small island of Muhu with the area of only 200 sq.km, it is considered a festive headdress; in everyday life, the Estonians here used to wear a hand-knitted woolen cap with a tuttmyuts, a long brush. The traditional color for the Tanu Muhu was orange, but in the early 20th century, the local peasants picked up a lot of floating mines unexploded during the First World War and used picric acid of the mines to manufacture new, bright yellow dye, which color became for a time the traditional color of the Estonian peasant costume.
