Chinese Child Infant Silk Applique Tiger Wind Hat. |
This vintage Chinese child infant silk applique tiger wind hat dates from the 1940s. It is hand stitched, made of a black silk fabric, with an appliquéd tigers face and colorful silk brocaded trim edging. This unusual animal shaped hand crafted hat has a detailed 3 dimensional face of a smiling grinning tiger, with it's ferocious powers make it an especially popular protective image and would have been used to frighten off evil spirits. This charming child's wind hat has a back flap drape covering the back of the neck for warmth, a tie chin strap and is fully lined in a red roses, blue floral print cotton fabric. The hat measures 14 inches long and 24 inches in circumference around the face. It is in good wearable condition, with only minor wear. These Han Chinese children's and infant hats were designed to provide protection from evil spirits, demons, and ghosts, but also to influence the wearing with important qualities such as wealth, health, courage, academic success, happiness, long life, grace, and beauty. This is truly a beautiful piece of one of a kind antique Chinese textile art and would make for a wonderful display piece. $100 |
