This type of amber headdress is known in Tibetan as Pöden. The Pöden is considered one of the main hair adornments of a married woman. It is made up of a cross shaped crown which rests on the head that can easily be removed. This is richly decorated with large perforated amber pieces which are usually adorned with red coral. Sometimes this head piece will have many strands of coral beads that hang down the nape of the neck , these beads are then attached to a longer piece of material composed of three sections. This piece of material can reach several feet in length and is richly decorated with amber, coral, turquoise and even gold. It is usually finished at the bottom with beaded tassles.
