liangbatou
Chinese hairstyle/headdress worn traditionally by Manchurian women during a period of the Qing dynasty - namely, through the 19th century.
The hair is wrapped around a long frame known as a bianfang to create a rigid, wingspan-like shape. The hair is then decorated with flowers and hairpins.
Examples
For the larger, more elaborate version of this headdress that came later in history, see the dalachi (headdress) tag.
