Title
New South Wales Rugby League football cap, 1922
Description
A blue velvet, peaked cap. The cap features silver coloured metallic flat ribbon trim around the edge with a zigzag pattern on it. The crown is segmented by silver coloured cord decoration which culminates at the top with a silver coloured button and tassel. The button and tassel both consist of closely coiled metal threads that look like springs. The top of the tassel has lost some of the coils. The front of the cap has a kangaroo filled in rows of couched silver coloured coiled metal threads with the text "N.S.W.R.F.L" in silver coloured short coils. On the peak of the cap is the year "1922" in silver coloured coiled metal thread.
