A Shiraya fan headdress was a type of headress associated with the Naboo culture.[1] It shared a name with the ancient moon goddess Shiraya.[2]
Queen Amidala of the planet Naboo wore one on Coruscant that had a dark brown crest, and white veda pearl beading; glass filaments in strands on either side of her face[1] formed a "veil of tears."[3] Queen Apailana wore a Shiraya fan headdress to Amidala's funeral.[4]
