content: From card: "This a Scotch-type overseas cap, with multicolored raised beading in floral patterns of the type which has traditionally been associated with the Iroquois. However a letter from the donor to Cath. Univ. [Miss F. Beatrice Hamilton] makes the following very definite statements: This was known as a smoking cap by my grandfather: James Prosperi (which Italian family came to the USA in 1813), who was a bandmaster for the Navy during the Mexican War (1846-8) during which time it was made and beaded for him by a Mexican Indian in Mexico."
