Tsipa: The Christian Burqa

East Roman tsipa was a head and facescarf worn at the times of the East Roman Empire by women and it had to cover the hair, cheeks, chin and forehead. There is still the expression in modern Greek, of saying a woman has no tsipa on her, meaning that she is shameless. Sometimes it is used for men, because most people do not know what tsipa is.
