Battoulah (Arabic: البطولة, romanized: al-baṭṭūlah), also called Gulf Burqa (Arabic: البرقع الخليجي),[1][note 1] is a metallic-looking fashion mask traditionally worn by Muslim[5][6] Arab women. The mask is mainly worn in the Persian Gulf region, including Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq and Qatar, as well as in southern Iran.[7] The mask usually indicates that the wearer is married.[1] Historically, it was also used to fool enemies into thinking that the women they spied from a distance were actually men.[8]
