Personal Artifacts: Headwear

Men's brown felt hat with tall crown that is slightly rounded on top. Hat has wide brim, about 13.5 cm. Hat is plain, but holes around base of crown suggest that there may originally have been trim. There is also a thin line of rust-colored discoloration where the crown meets the brim. Edge of brim has small holes, about 0.5 cm away from edge, around the entire perimeter, indicating that the edge of the brim was trimmed.
