It is called "Tepelak" in many regions. It comes from the turkish word "Tepe" which means top, or forhead.Originally posted by daniel the greatCan some one tell me what this is called and what it is for?:
It is a bridal jewelery and is worn on the forehead as you can see it here:

In Turkey, we call this bridal jewelery as "Tepe-lik" as Makedonin said but it should always have 5 coins attached to it. I think one coin is missing on the jewelery pictured above and i can see the little attachment hook for the 5th missing coin.
I have to say that the similarity between traditional Turkish and Macedonian clothing is striking. I`ve checked wowturkey website to show you few pictures of our traditional bridal woman pictures and i saw that this jewelery is called as "Tepelik" in all other Turkic people at Caucasus too.
These are Aegean Anatolia villagers;
These are central Anatolia yoruk girls;
But these are regular cloths without any jewelery. The jewelery pieces only used in weddings or panayir.
These are Pomak girls in Bulgaria with traditional cloths. They look similar to your/our clothing too;

Onur, greeks call it "tepeliki".
Type in google 'tepeliki greece' and you will se for your self. They must think that it is from Homers time.
By the way, after 500 years of Ottoman empire, no wonder that there are many similarities. There were no borders than.To enquire after the impression behind an idea is the way to remove disputes concerning nature and reality.Comment

It is from XVIII as far as I recall correctly. Robevski were close friends of Miladinov family.To enquire after the impression behind an idea is the way to remove disputes concerning nature and reality.Comment

Brojnici
Brojanici.
They are a very old religious icon used in mostly Orthodox countries, apparently every knot in the Brojanica symbolizes a prayer, they are very popular among Macedonian Orthodox Christians.
Onur, can you tell me what these are called and what they are for, i think these are also called Brojanci in Macedonian. I think it was the Turks that brought them to Macedonia and Greece etc, they are used by old men to twurl around.

Yes DTG, these are what you call as "Brojanci" too. We call it as "Tespih" in Turkish. There are 100s of different prayer beads with different precious stones.
I think Jews and early Arab christians in Palestine used this first and then it came to Ottoman Empire with islam and then to the Balkans from us. These are used by old men in Turkey too, but usually not as a prayer bead, but just for an object to twirl around.
Only orthodox christians uses these prayer beads, right?Comment
