Pair (2) of Tapamoños Tembleques White Beaded Flower Pearl Pollera Hair Pin

Handmade white pearl tembleque beaded flowers on traditional pins. Tembleques are traditional Panamanian accessories used with folkloric dresses (la pollera).

These tembleques are made by making traditional beaded flower tembleques and mounting them on a traditional pin. Materials used include white pearls and iridescent beads (tornasol).

They are all fixed to the same pin. This piece is called tapamoños and it is normally used to cover the hair buns of the empolleradas (pollera-wearing ladies).

When you purchase this item you get two (2) separate tapamoños that are identical to each other.
