Description

Original screen-worn Munchkin "flower pot" hat from The Wizard of Oz Original screen-worn Munchkin "flower pot" hat from The Wizard of Oz. (MGM, 1939) Stylized Munchkin "flower pot" hat of gold felt with hand-painted wooden beads along the perimeter and crowned with an intricately built felt flower of pale pink with green leaves over a thin metal wire armature. Includes the attached string and ribbon that attached it securely to the actor's head. A small label is sewn inside and handwritten, "Sally Ann Estell." The thread that secures the flower to the top is slightly loose, a few tiny moth holes; otherwise, condition is remarkable for this rare wardrobe from the film.
