The hat of sumozhe (蘇莫遮冐: the lower character has the fanqie 毛報. The Shuowen says: "A head covering for small children and barbarians. Formed with [the semantic element] mù (目) and [the phonetic element] yuē (曰)." Yuē has the same pronunciation as above. The Wenzi jilüe writes it with jīn (巾) as 帽, which is also permissible. Note: sumozhe is a barbarian word, originally said as sàmezhē, translated here as 'entertainment' (play). It originates from the Kingdom of Kucha, and to this day there is still this tune, which is of the kind of the Damian and Botou plays).
