The traditional Chinese Beijing Opera Royal Highness Hats are a symbol of power and authority in the art form.

These hats, also known as Officer Headwear, were worn by high-ranking officials during performances of Peking Opera.

They are made from silk or other fine materials and feature intricate designs and decorations.

The hats are often adorned with precious stones, such as pearls, and are worn with a matching robe.

The design of the hat is important as it reflects the status and rank of the performer.

It is said that the more elaborate the design, the higher the rank of the performer.

The hats are not only functional but also beautiful pieces of art that showcase the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who create them.
