Figure-8 casque made of hard wire wrapped in bias velvet tubing. The frame loops are decorated with velvet leaves that have been partially glued with micro-sequins. The leaves veins are created by heat-pressing the velvet to create fine grooves. The casque is finished with a small velvet bow.

Curator Notes
Good condition. There are remains of netting that was probably used once to run hair pins through and to secure the hat. Good condition.
