An Uzbek man wearing a doppi (called tyubeteika in Russian)

The doppi,[1] sometimes spelled doppa, (Uzbek: doʻppi/дўппи/دوپپا, Uyghur: دوپپا, doppa) is a square or round skullcap originating in Central Asia, worn by Uzbeks, Uyghurs, Kazan Tatars and Tajiks.[2]

The doppi is derived from the Khwarazmians, more pointed, ancestral cap, which can be seen in some of the portraits of Jalaleddin Mingburnu.[citation needed]

Differences between Uzbek and Uyghur doppis can be observed from their shape, method of making, and colour. Uyghur doppis are round, whereas Uzbek doppis are square with pointy edges. Uyghur doppis are relatively softer, while Uzbek doppis are slightly harder and set into shape with mold.
