Hat

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This hat was a typical style of men's headwear worn during the early seventeenth century. The surface decoration and embroidery bear a strong resemblance to that found on a leather fencing doublet (29.158.175) dated about 1580 and currently on display in the Arms and Armor galleries.
