chullo (Hat)

This collection (3133/1-35) was brought to Vancouver by the donor's father's family, when they moved here from Bolivia in the 1940s.

Woven hat. Hat is conical in shape, with a small tassel at the pointed top and large ear flaps descending from both sides at bottom. Design is in horizontal strips encircling the hat, showing a group of four legged animals on a blue background, amongst bright lines of pink yellow and green as well as a light tan. Ear flaps are densely coloured.
