The hat is tentatively dated to around 1625. It&#8217;s made of silver seraser and lined with blue silk.<\/p>\n<p>The dimensions are given as\u00a09.5&#8243; (24.2 cm)\u00a0tall, with a top diameter of 3&#8243; (8 cm) and a bottom diameter of\u00a0almost 7.5&#8243; (19 cm). I doubt\u00a0the bottom diameter measurement is right. The version I mocked up to the given dimensions was conical, with a base big enough to fit like a dunce cap&#8211;huge, unwieldy, nothing at all like the hats in the paintings. The hat in the photo looks squashed, as thought it was flattened and never regained its full roundness; if that&#8217;s real and not an effect of the light, then the curators may have measured it across its widest bottom diameter, making it seem wider than it was. If you reduce the bottom diameter to 5.5&#8243; or so, you end up with a arak\u00e7in that&#8217;s closer to the tapered cylinders of the paintings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This arak\u00e7in from the Topkap\u0131 Palace collection is believed to have belonged to Hanzade Sultan (1609-1650), the daughter of Sultan Ahmed I.
