Sombrero Eclesiástico con alas levantadas y cordones




This style of the cappello romano (saturno) is used mainly in Spain.
The brim is slightly curved upwards and fixed with two cords.
At the end of each cord are fixed small black tassels.

  3. I wonder if this hat style was the inspiration for the "coroner's hat" from the Wizard of Oz. Meinhardt Raabe, from Wisconsin like me, was the coroner in the 1939 film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWYUl-1vIec
