Inside of the folded gimp are two jewels: a jet or onyx-like stone in a round gold-colored multi-pronged setting and adjacent to it a small opal-like stone. There is a brown bow on both the front and back of the hat that has a shoelace-like appearance.

content: The brown pelt on both sides and also on the top of the hat is darker in some areas and also appears to be a different texture. This is probably due to age.
