Inventory number
2024.3.1.1ab.CO.SC.C1960.FRDescription
Two identical headdresses in a oriental turban type used for the scene and probably serving female characters, made of gold lamé, garnished with a succession of silver, transparent and mother-of-pearl beads mounted on wires and arranged in four rows. Each headdress is decorated on the ears and on the front of the head with large black cabochons surrounded by mother-of-pearl colored pearls. The one in the middle of the forehead has a small triangle of false hair below and is decorated above with a plume of egret feather and metal rods, themselves decorated with pearls. The hat is lined inside with mustard-colored cotton.These two headdresses certainly come from an acte in the style of Mata Hari presented on the stage of the Folies Bergère theater or perhaps the Moulin Rouge.
