This headdress was brought back from Ethiopia between 1935 and 1940. Floral pattern. It's a handmade item; it has never been worn but it has not been stored with much care, so it may show some signs of yellowing. Overall it is in excellent condition. The measurement from the edge to the center (radius) is 16 cm, while the circumference is 56 cm. As there are no labels, it is not possible to know the fabric composition.

Questo copricapo è stato riportato dall'Etiopia nel periodo tra il 1935 e il 1940. Disegno floreale. E' un prodotto artigianale, non è mai stato indossato ma non è stato conservato con molta cura, quindi potrebbe presentare qualche segno di ingiallimento. Nel complesso è in ottime condizioni. La misura dal bordo al centro (raggio) è di 16 cm, mentre la circonferenza è di 56 cm. Non essendo presenti etichette, non è possibile conoscere la composizione del tessuto.
