Open-top HatEd1.287

Cap of black silk damask with a flower and vines at the centre on each side, surrounded with a circle of five-petalled flowers, and with a smaller flower and vine motif on each side of the forehead. The cap is made of two halves joined at a centre seam from front to back, except for the opening at the top, round when worn. This opening and the forehead area are edged with narrow piping. The edge of the cap is straight across the forehead, but then is cut at a right angle so that it covers the ears. The lower edge forms a circle from the right angle to the top opening. The outer fabric is folded under at the ears and threaded on a cord. The cap is lined with blue-purple rayon damask with floral designs. A purple silk cord extends loosely across the top opening, attached at the centre front and back. At the back are suspended three purple tassels wrapped in silver thread. At the centre front is a complex knot design in purple cord, and five purple tassels. At each side above the right angle is attached a silver-coloured metal ornament in the shape of a basket of flowers. At the end of the back seam is attached an ornament of the same metal in the shape of a bat or cicada. Pieces of white paper are pasted to the inside at both sides, and inside the forehead area.

HangingEf420

Rectangle hanging composed of one long and one short (on left side as seen) pieces of textile, with seven pentagonal leaves stitched on one long side. The background is red cotton, lined with yellow-white cotton(?). A narrow black cotton(?) band separates the rectangle and leaves. There are three hanging loops on top corners and centre. Rectangle is heavily embroidered with varying sizes of mirrors which form eight distinct unstructured patterns. On either side of the centre is a pattern: one is on an orange embroidered background and the other is on blue. A border of closely spaced mirrors, enclosed in two undulating black lines, encloses the patterns: the top and sides of the rectangle are embroidered with multi-coloured closely spaced diamonds and inverted triangles; seven mirrored and embroidered leaves are stitched to the bottom edge. Three alternate leaves are centred with a large rectangular mirror; two of which are framed in silver coloured metal and the third one with pink metal. Two of the other leaves may represent stylized peacocks, and two have unstructured mirrored patterns. Each leaf is ordered with closely spaced mirrors enclosed in two undulating black lines. Yellow embroidery thread rayon(?) is seen throughout.
