The embroidered headdresses of the Banat region (kapica) were primarily worn by Serbian women as part of both traditional and festive folk costumes. Wearing a headdress could indicate social status alongside marital status. These embroidered headdresses were made from various materials, the quality and decoration of which depended on whether they were intended for everyday or festive wear. For everyday wear, they could be crafted from linen or finer cotton, whilst for festive occasions, elegant silk was used. For winter wear or for more elaborately and richly decorated headdresses, velvet was the chosen material.

The unique feature of the gold-embroidered Banat headdresses is the embossed (raised) embroidery. This effect is achieved by cutting out a pattern drawn on cardboard and gluing it onto the base fabric with wheat starch paste (csiríz). The metallic thread is then stretched across this surface and stitched down using a thin thread matching the colour of the base material. While stitching, this thin thread is pulled towards the centre on both sides, making the embroidery raised. Beads, sequins, silk threads, and metallic threads are also used for decoration. The level of adornment depends on both the occasion and the wearer's age; bridal headdresses are the most magnificent. Today, these motifs still appear on traditional heritage costumes, recreated headdresses, or even in modern textile art pieces.
