This close-fitting Even man's cap is ornamented with beads, reindeer hair embroidery, and decorative silver disks. It has triangular ear flaps and a leather chin strap. The Even, who live west of the Koryak and Chukchi, do not herd as many reindeer as their eastern neighbors, and traditionally used them mainly for riding and as pack animals, rarely harnessing them to sleds.
