Tang Futou

Description
The Tang Futou was the most common headwear for men during the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties period. It originated from the Fú jīn of the Eastern Han dynasty, evolving into the 'Zheshang Jin' (folded headscarf) made of black cloth used to wrap hair during the Sui dynasty, and becoming the main headwear for daily life and official occasions during the Tang dynasty.
Its style continuously evolved during the Tang dynasty: in the early Tang, it was mostly the flat-topped 'Pingtou Xiaoyang'; during the Wu Zhou period, the 'Wujia Zhuxiangyang' appeared, characterized by a raised and indented top; and during the Jinglong era, the 'Yingwang Boyang' developed, featuring two forward-leaning spherical shapes.
The Yingwang Boyang style is quite nice, but I couldn't find a base for sale, so I drew one myself to share for everyone to use.
