Antique Chinese Embroidered Child's Hat a cat for a little girl. Shipped with USPS Mail. Early 1900s cat makes me think this was for a special little girl- though mostly boys received embroidered hats from their mothers. The size and the animal, along with the appliques of butterflies on the top of the hat and different colorful fruits, are just the right motifs for a girl. Look closely and you can just barely see a few teeny spiders. This very colorful an...d delightful small hat would make a wonderful pop of color in a nursery or a little girl's room. Considering it is well over 100 years, the hat is in very good condition- save for a fabric eye that was missing when I purchased this in Hong Kong 35 years ago. I am downsizing my collection.
