Purple Cap

The cap of the Sovereign Grand Commander is of circular purple silk. It is surrounded with a purple band slightly darker than the cap itself, and this is trimmed in gold. The band is adorned with laurel vine, leaf, and berry.

The cap has a gold cord, which extends across its top, and affixed at both sides by a gold button, which is embossed with a double-headed eagle.

The front of the cap is adorned with a slanted purple three-armed Cross of Salem with crosslets, which is trimmed with gold bullion wire.
