Gold Fascinator

This hat was described as a Theatrical, Wedding, Gold, Empress Style. Medieval Reenactment Hat, Fascinator.


Fascinators usually are something associated with women's headwear rather than men's and are basically a hat that covers only a small portion of the top of the head and purely ornamental in function.


While possible designed for a woman, I can see easily being worn by a man


This fascinator is made of lightweight wire gauze, with trimming  


It could be used for an Arabian or East Asian Princess or Prince

Chinese Wedding Cap


This Chinese hat or cap is more like fascinator than an actual hat.


 The cap come up in images under Qing and Han Dynasty, I can only assume it was worn across both periods.



Used by nobles, emperors and as a modern wedding headpiece.


This hat is held in place by a tie, although it's more likely to have been pinned through and over a bun of hair, but I don't have anywhere near enough hair for that.


Also seen listed as a Chinese landlords hat
