The għonnella, pronounced "awe-"nel"-la" (pl. "għenienel", pronounced "eh-"nee"-nal"), sometimes referred to as a Faldetta, was a form of women's head dress and shawl, or hooded cloak, unique to the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo. It originated, and has some similarities, to the Turkish "charshaf", but distinguishly had a piece of cardboard sewn inside (hooded), at the top part above the head. There was a different blue version in the south-east of Malta, and it was referred to as "xurqana". Another in the village of Għargħur was referred to as "stamijna".
