I'm glad we don't wear clay hats any more.

This example is actually slightly smaller than a modern American cowboy hat, illustrating the teeny tiny heads British people had in the 1600s.

If he was such an important person, how come he had to wear such an old hat?

The Puritans were a radical Protestant sect who believed nice things were too 'popish' (ie Catholic)

So their works tend to be... austere.

Does anyone actually believe this?
No citations and doesn't look like a hat.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
