content: Donor notes: Yarn hat – known as a “Southern Highlands cap”... "Worn by men and women, this hat was given [as a gift] to Joshua A. Bell on buying two bilums from Etopawe Lakei (approximately 60 in age [in 2011]) from the Magavo clan of the Bena in the Eastern Highlands. Etopawe made this hat for sale."
