Emperors Hat


Coronet, worn by emperors of the Han Dynasty.


This hat was worn by both emperors and empresses and actually 


I have listed this hat a from Han dynasty period but it continued on into later dynasties as well.


The Han Dynasty ran from 206 BC to 220 AD and is considered a golden age of China, it started Hanfu a written dress code which included hats, headwear and hairstyles.


This similar to the hat I previously blogged about is part of a wedding costume and made of mixture cardboard tube and shiny fabric and beads.
