kerchief

A square piece of cloth worn on the head or around the neck, typically for protection, modesty, or decoration. / A small square of cloth used for wiping the nose or face, similar to a handkerchief.
Noun
pl: kerchiefs

This term often carries a rustic or traditional connotation, frequently evoking images of folk dress or historical attire. While it overlaps significantly with "handkerchief," a kerchief is typically larger and more versatile, often used as a head covering or a neck scarf rather than just for personal hygiene.

In modern usage, "kerchief" is less common in urban settings than "scarf" or "bandana," but it remains the standard term when referring to specific cultural or religious head-coverings used for modesty.
