From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kerchief
      mentioned only Ezek. 13:18, 21, as an article of apparel or
      ornament applied to the head of the idolatrous women of Israel.
      The precise meaning of the word is uncertain. It appears to have
      been a long loose shawl, such as Oriental women wrap themselves
      in (Ruth 3:15; Isa. 3:22). Some think that it was a long veil or
      head-dress, denoting by its form the position of those who wore
      it.
