content: Men's traditional hat made of black and blue synthetic velvet. Pointed on top, with scalloped upturned brim. Gold polyester edging runs along the scalloped brim edge, and vertically along seams to top of the point, which ends at a knot of red cord. The underside is lined with pink cotton over a stiff form, which gives the hat structure and shape. A small red and white tag inside reads "59." Hats are kept off inside of the ger as a sign of respect. This hat is commonly worn in the countryside. The knot on the top symbolizes the endless knot of Buddhism (Video Footage, Tape 4, 7/10/02).
