Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. In our series of highlight artifacts being kept at the National Museum of Mongolia, we are presenting the ceremonial hat of General D.Sukhbaatar who led the movement for freedom and the country’s independence.


With a dark red gem as an ornament, the velvet hat has a height of 14 cm. The ornament’s base is made of silver with gold coating, then decorated with green jades and floral patterns.


While red silk was used in making the hat’s folded crown, blue silk was used for lining its interior. The hat’s drape is made of reddish silk with patterns of ‘khaan buguivch’ and ‘khatan suikh’.
