Hat c. 20th century

This 20th-century hat, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a captivating example of textile art. Made from a combination of fabrics, including a white cotton cloth, a red and yellow plaid, and a deep red fabric with intricate embroidery, this hat demonstrates skillful handcraftsmanship. The vibrant colors and patterns, along with the unique construction, suggest a cultural context where hats were not just functional but also served as expressions of identity and tradition. The hat is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
