Oriental Evil

This Hat as the look of a Mongolian hat but is a medieval European hat.


This is felt hat I believe copied from a woodcut of the period


Now many images of Mongolian hats can also be very similar to this and they would also wear a hat made of felt, it perhaps decorated with trims and maybe beads. The Mongolian did invade Europe in the 13th century so who knows perhaps ideas got swapped.
