DescriptionThis hat speaks to both the traditional design elements of the Miao and the incorporation of modern materials. While the metal adornments seen on the hat are quite traditional, the fabrics and colors used are not. The materials all point to a very recent date of creation, and it is likely that the hat was made in the same year that it was collected.On View
