	This hat, made of wool and with fur trim, was originally worn by Garth Tremain of Bonwick. (How he acquired it, is not known). He wore it for a time, and was then made a Court Baron. Garth passed it to [[Chiang Ti Lung]] ([http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php?search=Chiang%20Ti%20Lung&id= OP]), who, it was said, rather closely resembled Mickey Rooney when wearing it. In in 2002, Chiang Ti Lung was made a Court Baron. [[Toshiro Koi]] made the observation that everyone who had worn it had been made a Court Baron, and asked if he might wear it. In 2008, Toshira was made a Court Baron! ([http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php?search=Toshiro%20Koi&id= OP]) - that very day, he passed it to [[Kormak Ivanson]], who was made a Baron that day at Court, as well! The hat was passed back into the hands of [[Li Xiao Wuya]], until she ~~ahd~~ Chiang stepped down from the Baronial thrones of Bonwicke. Then, in passed to [[Gerold von Drachenhohle]], and then his wife, [[Gianetta Malatesta de Montefiore]] ([http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php?search=Gianetta%20Malatesta%20de%20Montefiore&id= OP]), decided she wanted it to make sure she became a Court Baroness when she stepped down - and she did, on 2012-02-25. The hat was then passed to [[Colleen O'Kelly]] ([http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php?search=Colleen%20O%27Kelly&id= OP]), who became a Court Baroness on April 13th, 2019.

	==The Tapestries of Mistress [[Branwyn O'Brallaghan]] ==		==The Tapestries of Mistress [[Branwyn O'Brallaghan]] ==
	The artistry of Branwyn O'Brallaghan ([http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php?search=Branwyn%20O%27Brallaghan&id= OP]) has had long term influence on the adornment of our Kingdom, most especially through her many hand-painted tapestries. Her first famous works were two painted unicorn banners. These were the first such tapestries seen on display in the kingdom. They were utilized at Scarborough Fair in 1979, the Field of Cloth of Gold event, numerous investitures and Coronations. She also enjoyed working on group projects, and created some for a Lindenwood event with Mistress [[Kalida Aristana]] and [[Saqra Al-Kudsi]], directing the two to "paint this section blue, that section brown, and another section green then would come in behind us and work her magic!". Another famous tapestry depicted Ansteorrans as the "Journey of the Magi" (also known as the Pilgrimage tapestries), and was a co-produced work with Mistress [[Muriel FitzLloyd]]. (One of that set resides with Mistress Muriel out of kingdom, and the other is with [[Duncan Hepburn]] and [[Genevieve de Courtanvaux]]). Other works included the "Russian Red Square" backdrop, which Branwyn herself destroyed after it became heavily deteriorated. It is likely her painted tapestry of St. Mark's Square met the same fate. She made another set of painted banners for the Barony of the [[Steppes]], resembling stained glass. "The Nine Worthies" banner is in the possession of Sir [[Pendaran Glamorgan]] and Mistress [[Jehanne d'Avignon]], but have deteriorated over time. Branwyn was exceedingly generous with her work, and gifted many banners and tapestries as gifts or prizes. Still others were lost when her home burned, or after her passing.
