A close-fitting skull cap with a rounded crown that tapers to cover the head completely. The cap features a dark brown base with cream-colored geometric trim arranged in horizontal bands. The upper section displays a series of vertical rectangular elements creating a rhythmic pattern around the crown. The lower portion transitions to solid black material. The construction appears to use synthetic satin with precise geometric applique work. The cap's form-fitting silhouette and decorative patterning reflect traditional African textile motifs adapted into contemporary headwear design of the 1990s.
