The two ends at the extremities of the fold are tied over the ends that hang down in back. The tassels often hang down in back; sometimes those from the tied corners hang down in front. Often the tzute is worn with the wrong side of the weaving facing out, presumably to protect the right side. For certain religious functions, the tzute is removed from the head and draped over the shoulders. Textile analysis form in accession envelope.
