A triangular silk cap is formed by sheer, deep purple fabric with a wide band of raised gold embroidery along the base. The embroidery depicts ornate floral patterns. The delicate material rises to a central point with a thin tie at the top, while long, frayed ties extend from the bottom corners. Semi-transparent and worn, the silk displays frayed edges and several small holes across its surface.
