This metallic cloth mask worn by Arab women is called a burqa, a symbol of femininity. In the past, it was worn by young Arab girls who had reached puberty or were married. From a distance it looks like it's made of metal, but it's just fabric😍; the metal would burn the skin.

According to one version, the girls put on these masks so that from afar they could be mistaken for mustachioed men and thus scare away unwanted attention.

Yes, and I also read that this was due to some kind of imitation of birds from hawks)
