Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (1949) or the full path ("Religious & Ceremonial > Religious Items > Religious Veils"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 1949, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Religious Veils
What is the Google product category ID for Religious Veils?

Is anything more specific than Religious Veils available?

Where does Religious Veils sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Religious Items (97). The chain from the top is Religious & Ceremonial → Religious Items → Religious Veils. If your product does not belong under Religious Items, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Religious Veils is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Religious Items first — there are 4 other categories at this level: Prayer Beads (3923), Prayer Cards (328060), Religious Altars (7120), Tarot Cards (499711). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Religious Items (97) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Religious Veils compared with the categories next to it?
