content: "Late 19th century. Bamboo, silk and horsehair. Bernadou explains "The Kat or national hat of the Coreans and worn by all, from the King, down except-people in mourning, and men of certain low callings as the Koreans would say; -butchers, tanners and executioners. The rim is made of split bamboo and is neatly covered with fur or grass cloth. In the better made ones the bamboo is covered with silk or horsehair, and the crown is made of horsehair instead as ordinarily of grass cloth" (Bernadou Field Notes 13).... Collected in Seoul.
