There are, of course, many kinds of brimless headcovers among them an assortment of regional and tribal "kufi"

and tarbooshim. Among the national Muslim and Arab costumes under the Colonial and Ottoman rule there were a wide assortment of felt caps beyond the red tasseled Fez worn by Peter Lorre in Casablanca or Sydney Greenstreet in Maltese Falcon . The caps were quite layered as under them was a libbadeh or kubbah (turban) and a kind of absorbent Kipa-like thing (araqiyeh). Of these only the araqiyeh is a "skull cap".
