Hoedenspeld van Perzisch maskeradekostuum 1913

This 1913 "Hoedenspeld van Perzisch maskeradekostuum," or hat pin, is a striking example of a decorative object from a Persian masquerade costume. The pin features a slender, pointed stem that culminates in a bell-shaped head with a fluted rim. The overall form of the pin is sleek and elegant, reminiscent of a stylized flower, and would have been a striking accessory for a masquerade costume. While the artist remains anonymous, the pin is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of Persian costume design in the early 20th century.
