Golden Hood of Linz
This particular form, with its distinctive pommel and swooping peak at the back– perhaps initially inspired by Turkish fashion– is associated with the first half of the nineteenth century. The Met has two examples in its collection: this piece and 2009.300.2087. Given the cultural significance of such Linzer Goldhauben, their making and wearing is on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
