The pleats and tucks on this vintage black velvet turban spiral like a beehive.  The velvet is very soft and plush.  Could be worn cloche-style if you put the short 'tail' to the side.

Condition is excellent with powdery residue from wear on the interior ribbed band, not detectable when worn.  

Measures approximately 21 1/2" when working a tape measure around the interior band/ribbon just inside the hat.
