Frontala

Frontala refers to a specific type of headwear, often a narrow band worn across the forehead. It can be made from various materials such as fabric, leather, or metal. Historically, frontals have served multiple purposes, including practical ones like keeping hair out of the face or absorbing sweat. They have also held symbolic significance in different cultures and time periods, sometimes denoting status, religious affiliation, or as part of ceremonial attire. In some contexts, frontals are worn for fashion or as accessories. The term can also be applied to decorative elements on furniture or architecture that are positioned at the front. However, the most common understanding relates to the headwear. Specific examples include athletic headbands, decorative hairbands, and elements of traditional costumes. The design and complexity of frontals can vary widely, from simple utilitarian bands to intricately embellished pieces.
