Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A blue hat made of crocheted synthetic raffia with long loops throughout the crown's exterior. The sides of the crown are rounded and fit loosely around the head. The brim of the hat is made of the same synthetic raffia but is crocheted without the pulled out loops. The hat is unlined but has an adhered label at the center back interior along the hat band. The label is made of paper and reads “HAND CROCHET // IN FORMOSA." This project received Federal support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative Pool, administered by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.
