Description

A hat made of stiff, felted, un-dyed white wool. It has a rounded crown with a brim. The brim is edged with black seam tape that has been machine embroidered with an interlocking yellow serpentine pattern. This yellow pattern is bordered with a green line of straight stitching. Around the base of the crown are two black embroidered ribbons that continue down into four long streamers. These ribbons are held in place with metal sewing needles. The outsides of the black ribbons are heavily embroidered with multicoloured stitching in elongated "V" and "X" shapes. These "V" and "X" shapes are edged with yellow, interlocking serpentine stitching, bordered by straight stitching in red and blue. The black streamers are tipped with fringes of blue, orange, and dark pink yarn. Inside the hat, a manila-coloured strip of paper has been sewn in a ring.
