"Mantillas" are large, traditional Spanish lace or silk scarves worn by women to cover their heads and shoulders, particularly during religious ceremonies or formal occasions. These scarves are often rectangular in shape and fall gracefully over the head, draping down the back. Mantillas are typically black, although they can also come in other colors, and they are often embroidered or adorned with decorative lace, tassels, or ribbons.
