Extent6 hats
DescriptionEach coloured dress has its own hat or mask to match which is made from the same fabric (linen or raw silk) and also matches the colours of the tights (found in NM/S/12/5).

There are two turquoise head dresses to match the turquoise and purple dresses although it is difficult to see how they were worn. They are soft with long strips of fabric hanging down one side, these are joined at the bottom with elastic which looks like it attached to something. Dimensions 450 x 310mm

There are two red/yellow and black hats, to match the red and yellow dresses, with horns at either side (they look like devil horns) and strips of fabric hanging down each side. Dimensions 180 x 400mm

There are two green ghoul like masks, to match the green dresses, which cover the head completely; they have eye holes and ragged hems and there are three rigid arches on the sides and top of the masks. Dimensions 500 x 470mm
