DescriptionPart of a man's wedding kroj, a black felt hat with a woven, multi-colored band around its crown. Two lengths of white and green cording wrap around the woven band and a row of beaded flowers surrounded by beaded lines bent into scallops run around the top edge. Groups of three beaded strands of thread are evenly spaced around the woven band. A tall cluster of faux flowers and circles of beads is affixed to the front of the hat. Ribbons and pipe cleaners lie at the base of the cluster. Long stems of white flowers and sticks of yellow puffballs sit atop it, along with two long white feathers. Small, square mirrors are also scattered throughout the cluster.Credit LineGift of Eileen and the late Josef Mandát of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
