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.

Black fascinator with faux flowers worn by Ophelia DeVore. The cap is made from heavy weight black synthetic faille that is covered on the facing side entirely by black faux flowers made from large rounded pieces of semi-sheer and crinkled fabric. Each flower has a cluster of either white or pink plastic stamen. The flowers at the front center have small clear rhinestones adhered to the petals in a scattered manner. The interior rim of the cap is trimmed in black velvet covered wire to keep it rigid, with triangles of the wire protruding at each side to secure the cap behind the ears. The number "932" is handwritten faintly in white at the interior proper left side.
