Hat 1930 - 1940

This anonymous "Hat" from 1930-1940 is a striking example of traditional textiles and craftsmanship. The hat itself is made of white linen and features a unique construction, while a long, flowing scarf of red silk with floral patterns hangs from the base. The scarf is adorned with rows of silver buttons and its length emphasizes the hat's verticality. This headwear, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistry and symbolism of traditional dress.
