A bandana is a cloth also known as a kerchief. Before people used the word handkerchief, the word kerchief alone was common. Accoutrements include a divisional kerchief worn around the neck and yellow suspenders. The torn neck kerchief resembles Zarana's torn pink shirt. Such a shawl or kerchief will not look downy when first made. The scarf, formerly known as the kerchief, was also worn. A woman may also cover her head with a white veil (usually a simple kerchief). Postulants wore a long white kerchief on their heads, which covered their foreheads completely. He took the kerchief out of his pocket. The dancers hold a kerchief in each hand and swing them as they dance. It was covered with a namitka or a kerchief. In "gapus-gapusay", the dancers are tied with kerchief at separate times. Today, it may be more commonly known as a "kritiko mandili" (Cretan kerchief). As with the kerchief, the woman may resist this step adamantly. He met another diwata, who passed his kerchief over him, rendering him unconscious.
