Sapka

The şapka was a type of hat worn by Christians. The 1451 Gazavat-ı Sultan Murad defines it simply as a “Christian hat,” while Filippo Argenti defines it in his 1533 dictionary as “sciapchá: chappello di greci & berrette di ogni sorte di cristiani” (a hat of the Greeks and a bonnet of all kinds of Christians).
