This is a Hat.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Museum of the City of New York as part of The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s.

It is dated mid-1920s. Its medium is silk, fur, rhinestone, felt, satin.

The cloche hat, complementing the bobbed haircuts of the 1920s, was often made of felt that had been molded around a wooden hat block to obtain a shape that was fitted to the head. Cloches featured an array of embellishments including satin bows and rhinestones, as seen here.

It is credited Lent by Museum of the City of New York.Gift of Miss Mildred Sawyer, 1932, 32.200.1.

Headwear known as a bandeau, comparable to a tiara, luxuriously made out of platinum and studded in diamonds. The headband jewelry is circular with an opening in the back (as opposed to a full circle). The front part is where most of the diamonds are placed. It has a repeating circular pattern with two flowers on the side. At the center of this circle is a larger piece of diamond. In between the patterns is a row of diamonds arranged horizontally, one piece after another. On the top and bottom part, the diamonds are tilted and are also arranged one after another. The tilted position of the diamonds create a zig-zag pattern. The back portion continues with two wires with small diamonds equally spaced out.
