This 20th-century "Hat" is an anonymous work of art. It is a dome-shaped textile with intricate embroidery in red, yellow, green, and blue on a white background. The pattern is geometric and repetitive, and the craftsmanship is exceptionally detailed. The hat is a testament to the skill and artistry of its unknown creator. It is a fascinating example of traditional textile art and is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
