Printed cotton headscarf with pattern about the journey of H.M. the Queen in October 1955
View through Europeana Collections
The pattern of the cloth commemorates the visit of Her Majesty Queen Juliana and His Royal Highness Prince Bernhard to the West in October 1955. \The background is orange, with on it in red, white, blue, black and green the following motifs: in the centre a crown; around it "Faithful to the Royal Family". Around this again the names of the three Greater and Lesser Antilles, flanked by images of a goat, a cactus plant, bunches of bananas, a kotomisi and a man waving a Dutch flag.Ó The headscarf, most likely imported from the Netherlands, was manufactured to a design by Mrs. Fliek, Aruba (as well as the other Antilles artists). The cloth has been sold extensively, but more as a souvenir than as a headscarf to be worn in real life.\ The cloth was purchased thanks to the mediation of Ms. J. Felhoen Kraal during her stay in Suriname.
