Mexican Sombrero Hat with Green Woven Straw Crown
This lot is a Mexican sombrero hat, offered as a traditional wide-brimmed headpiece with a distinctive green woven straw body. The hat features a tall, conical crown built up from tightly coiled braided straw, set above a broad, upturned brim. Its styling is typical of the festive sombrero form, with a cream pom-pom trim running around the outer edge of the brim. A band of red, black, white and yellow zigzag embroidery decorates the lower side of the brim, and a red twisted cord is wound around the base of the crown. The hat also has a red twisted cord with tasselled ends for tying beneath the chin.

The hat is offered in the condition described here, with its woven straw body, pom-pom edging and embroidered band appearing intact. No obvious damage is evident at the time of cataloguing. The piece retains its original red cord and trim, which will appeal to buyers seeking an authentic-looking example for display, costume collections or Mexican-themed decorative interiors. Its bold colours and handmade appearance make it a characterful addition to a collection of folk-style headwear or souvenir textiles.
