Embroidered Peasant Headdress

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold-colored embroidered peasant headdress by unknown artist. The headdress is triangular in shape, with a rounded top and a pointed bottom that extends outwards on both sides. The fabric is heavily embroidered with gold thread in intricate patterns and designs. The embroidery is dense and ornate, covering the entire surface of the headdress. There are two circular eye holes cut out for vision. The background of the image is dark grey. The headdress is displayed on a black pole. The overall color of the headdress is gold with some darker threads woven in.
