The first comment I got, after finishing this hat, was “You look like Napoleon!” I don´t think so, because ACTUALLY it´s an egyptian revival hat, style 1920s. But it gave me a fancy name for the hat….And Napoleon really WAS in Egypt. So here it comes: “Le Bonaparte”!
The metal applique is genuin 1920s and was meant for book embellishing. The ribbon with hieroglyphics is contemporary.
