White straw Pillbox hat. The crown is decorated with greenish ribbons and flower and fruit ornaments. Placed in original cardboard box.
Letter of authenticity enclosed (handwritten note, in English), signed in Hebrew by R. Shalom Dov Ber (Barry) Gurary (1923-2005), only grandson of Rebbe Rayatz (son of his daughter Rebbetzin Chana and her husband R. Shemaryahu Gurary – the Rashag): "[My wife] Mina and I have decided to gift to Rabbi Shaul Shimon Deutsch my aunt's flower hat which she had given as a gift to Mina when she helped my aunt [Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneersohn] clean out my uncle's mother's apartment ". Dated – 2nd January 1996.

There are several pictures of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneersohn from the 1950s, where she is seen wearing a white straw flower hat very similar in shape and style to the present hat (it appears from the pictures that Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka owned several similar hats at the time).
After the passing of Rebbetzin Chana Schneersohn (mother of the Lubavitcher Rebbe) in 1965, her daughter-in-law Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneersohn, and Rebbetzin Mina Gurary (wife of R. Shalom Dov Ber Gurary, daughter-in-law of Rebbetzin Chana and R. Shemaryahu Gurary) worked together on cleaning out her apartment (see Rebbetzin Chana, p. 190).

Approx. 22 cm. Good condition.
