Woven hat. Hat is conical in shape, narrowing toward the rounded top where sits a small tassel, with flaps that hang down over the ears on both sides. Background colour is a light tan, with several lines of dark grey images encircling the garment. These include men and women facing front and holding hands, four legged animals (alpacas?), and foliage. Ear flaps show more animals, possibly bulls.
