Description

Headband worn by Prince in the movie Purple Rain, 1984. Black patterned net band gathered at each end, and is connected by a narrow elastic band. The headband, though soft and flexible, would be worn similarly to a tiara on the crown of the head, with the elastic across the back. The bottom edge of the net is straight and the top edge has an abstract floral border and insets of gold-colored curvilinear lines. See ID Numbers 1987.124.1 through 1987.124.7 for other pieces of the Purple Rain costume.
