 kerchief
      n : a square scarf that is folded into a triangle and worn over
          the head or about the neck

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Kerchief
    mentioned only Ezek. 13:18, 21, as an article of apparel or
    ornament applied to the head of the idolatrous women of Israel.
    The precise meaning of the word is uncertain. It appears to have
    been a long loose shawl, such as Oriental women wrap themselves
    in (Ruth 3:15; Isa. 3:22). Some think that it was a long veil or
    head-dress, denoting by its form the position of those who wore
    it.
