Supposedly those who faithfully served the Uzbek Khan, he was awarded the clothes and shoes, and a cap of Monomakh - a golden skull-cap, which Uzbek Khan award for dedication of Ivan Kalita.

Hat, presumably the work of the Central Asian end of XIII - beginning of XIV century, with sable edging, decorated with pearls, rubies, emeralds and cross kept in the Armory of the Moscow Kremlin.
