This is a very stylish piece which is perfect for an evening out.
Made in the late 1930s from inky black fur felt, it is meant to sit on the side of your head, tilted to one side, and has a pretty felt trim in the back to help keep it in place. The crown is decorated with black sequins, each individually sewn on, and the back section is decorated with black sequin braid.
