Gugu hat

Gugu hat (罟罟冠 or 固姑冠 or 顧姑冠 or 故姑冠; pronounced as Guguguan in Chinese) is a tall headdress worn by Mongol noblewomen before and during the Yuan dynasty.

[1][3][4] The gugu hat was one of the hallmark headdress of Mongol women in the 13th and 14th century.

[1] The boqta also appeared in the Ilkhanate (1256–1335 AD),[5] in Korea when Mongol princesses married in the Goryeo court,[6] and continued to be used in the Timurid court in the 15th century AD.

[7] Gugu was a Mongolian word for hat; its name was then translated into Chinese based on its pronunciation.

[1][5] It could also be decorated with precious stones, such as pearls, gold filigrees, large pieces of jewelries in the middle of the hat, and small tuft of quills such as peacock feathers.
