Black Silk Satin Child's Traditional Cap

1970s · 1960s · Hong Kong Chinese

A small black silk satin cap designed for a child, featuring a close-fitting rounded crown that would sit snugly on the head. The cap is constructed from lustrous black silk satin with visible seaming that creates panels radiating from the crown center. A prominent red pompom sits at the apex, made of what appears to be wool or cotton fiber. The brim is minimal, consisting of a narrow turned-up edge that frames the face. The construction shows traditional Chinese hat-making techniques with hand-sewn seams joining the crown panels. The silk has a smooth, reflective surface typical of satin weave, and the overall form suggests this is a modernized version of traditional Chinese children's headwear.
