Sorry, meant to earlier - I find the calendrical significance fascinating. It's almost a form of proto-writing in some ways (in the sense that it encodes knowledge in a material yet non-illustrative form) but I love the fact that it does so while also being, well, a hat. I also enjoy the potential connections to other Bronze Age oddities like the Trondheim Sun Chariot and the Nebra Sky Disk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trundholm_sun_chariot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trundholm_sun_chariot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk But if I had to be totally honest, I found this while researching the history of wizard hats and that's what I like the most about it. Granted, there's almost certainly no link there, but it's fun to imagine a scenario whereby Bronze Age proto-druid ceremonial headgear leads to Gandalf's hat.
