Description

Chimborazo-style headdress. Canvas is stretched and sewn around a rounded, grass-rope-bound wood frame that is stuck into a flat, rectangular piece of wood and mounted with red yarn onto the top of a painted paper mache cowboy hat. Numerous small objects sewn onto the red foil that covers the canvas at the front include small framed mirrors, plastic figures, strands of plastic and metal beads, wispy feathers, and paper cards. A large metal plaque decorated with a two-headed bird is tied onto the front brim of the yellow, white, blue and red hat.
