Nigerian Dress Hat

Nigerian ceremonial dress hat -- blue with metallic tassel and embroidery. The embroidery seems to have been done by hand, along with the tassel being sewn on by hand, whereas the rest of the fabric seems to be sewn together by a sewing machine. The gold embroidery design looks like it is meant to represent leaves and flowers. The fabric color is blue, and Index card with dress hat: "Gift of Ruth P. Craig SRJC French Instructor 1949-88 Lattie Fahn was a Nigerian student at SRJC 1952-1953, who Ruth helped to be SRJC."
