content: Round hat/cap covered in feathers. Base appears to be dark blue wool knit fabric. This is covered, except for a piece at the front, with a piece of bird skin with white feathers. Two pieces of orange cotton fabric appliqued to the front. Two rosettes made from knotted string and brass (?) wire are attached to the top and front. Several thin white feathers protrude from the front rosette (these appear to be badly damaged).
