Wow! What a hat! Around a straw hat is a wreath of blue-purple shimmering feathers. In the forehead area is a stuffed bird. Probably a splendid starling that has yellow eyes. The straw hat itself is decorated with a thin net tulle and with a bow. Under the net tulle was still attached black ostrich feathers. Walking hats were dressed up very creatively. After all, people wanted to stand out. The hat is well preserved. The bird is just sitting loosely on the hat and would need to be reattached. Its feathers are a bit disheveled. Likewise, few feathers of the wreath. The wax bust is not included. Even today still wearable size.

Hat Dimensions: ~ 45 x 35 cm
