全部拍賣 / Asian Art / Antique Thai / Khmer Lacquered Ceremonial Hat, Gilt Gesso


Southeast Asia, Thailand / Cambodia, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A ceremonial conical hat composed of woven palm-leaf cane fronds coated with a thick lacquered surface - black covered with red oxide pigments. The exterior is richly ornamented with applied low-relief motifs in gesso - beaded scrolls, loops, and spirals - arranged in concentric registers that encircle the brim and ascend the tapering crown. A copper wash has been applied overall, lending a golden shimmering hue. Inside, a pair of wooden tabs with pierced holes remain for the attachment of a chin strap, attesting to the hat's intended wear in ceremonial or dance use. Despite similar classifications in museums as a "war hat," the lightweight nature and decorative lacquered surface indicate ritual rather than martial function. Such headpieces were associated with Buddhist courtly display, embodying cosmological symbolism through their stupa-like silhouette and radiant finish. Size: 16" Diameter x 6" H (40.6 cm x 15.2 cm) Item # 196833
