1940s Brown Silk Shantung Halo Headpiece

Beautiful brown halo headpiece in what appears to be silk shantung. The piece has a sculptural crescent shape with radiating pleats and a padded edge. It sits high around the head like a diadem and creates a strong 1940s silhouette.

This piece sits on the head like a halo or diadem rather than fitting closely around it. Fits any head.
