Antique Chinese Child Infant Silk Embroidered Lotus Flower Wind Hat. Tweet
|
This antique Chinese child infant silk embroidered lotus flower wind hat dates from the 1920s. It is hand stitched, made of a black silk fabric, with colorful varying shades of pink silk raised padded satin stitch hand embroidered lotus flowers. The lotus flower is a symbol of purity, which rises unsullied through the muddy water. This charming child's wind hat has a back flap drape covering the back of the neck for warmth and is fully lined in a purple and white cotton print fabric, with cotton batting padding sewn inside. 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. The hat measures 15 inches long, 10 inches wide and 28 1/2 inches in circumference inside. It is in good condition. This is truly a beautiful piece of one of a kind antique Chinese textile art and would make for a wonderful display piece!
