content: Bowl-shaped hat, made of dried grasses (?). Twined. Several rows near the top have a dark brown and an undyed element, creating a band of vertical stripes when twined together. Ends at the top bound together to make small tassel. Ends at the bottom are turned back and braided together to make fringe that sticks up towards the top of the hat. According to the donor, this is a herder's hat.
