content: According to the donor's notes, this type of hat is worn by Fulani (Peul) herders. She acquired it in Djenne, Mali in 1970, but it came from the Futa Djallon, Guinea. She used it when she went up the Niger River from Djenne to Kouakourou by pinasse. References: Prussin, Hatumere, 1986, p 83. Bernolles, 1963, Notes Africaines 98.
