content: Women's traditional hat made of brown-black velvet and green satin brocade. Dome-shaped, with scalloped upturned brim. Gold colored cording is sewn along the seams and rim. There is some fraying of the thread along the cords. The green satin has a brocade pattern of gold lotus flowers. A 60cm. long red tassel is tied to a red knot at the top of the hat. The underside is lined with a pink cotton over a stiff form, which gives the hat its shape. A small red and white tag inside reads "57." Young, unmarried women or older women wear rounded hats. Today it is rare for a woman to wear one. The tassel should fall just in front of one's left shoulder (Video Footage, Tape 4, 7/10/02).
