Cute little hat from the 1950s.
I'm not sure what this piece is made from but it feels like a woven fabric which has been stiffened to simulate straw - what ever the fibre content, it's a sweet hat. A versatile piece, it can be worn on the top of your head, tilted to one side or worn at the back to frame your face. It has a wired frame which is covered with brown velvet and is trimmed with two little velvet bows.
