This object has the following keywords:
headdresses*, men*, mountains, temples*
  • headdresses - Elaborate coverings or objects for the head, especially those worn for ceremonial or ornamental purposes.
  • men - Refers to male human beings from young adulthood through old age.
  • mountains
  • temples - Refers to places devoted to the worship of a deity or deities. In the strictest sense, it refers to the dwelling place of a deity, and thus often houses a cult image. In modern usage a temple is generally a structure, but it was originally derived from the Latin "templum" and historically has referred to an uncovered place affording a view of the surrounding region. For Christian or Islamic religious buildings the terms "churches" or "mosques" are generally used, but an exception is that "temples" is used for Protestant, as opposed to Roman Catholic, places of worship in France and some French-speaking regions.
