The hat is in two parts, the front is domed with a semicircular groove at the top, and the back is domed with a nearly flat front surface and rises above the front piece. The two pieces are hinged together with a leather strip across the seam, and there is a rope tie on both sides at the bottom rear of the front piece. A piece of black ribbon runs down the front of the back piece. There are two black sockets, one on either side, and there is also one socket at the bottom rear.
