Description
Crocheted cap with added brim and embroidered front panel; cap also has ear flaps and an extended tassel on top. Camelid, sheep’s wool, and synthetic yarns.
History Of Use
Knitting and crochet were introduced to the Andes after the Spanish Conquest. Distinctive crocheted caps are made in the Tarabuco region of Bolivia. This type of cap is called jokollo in the Tarabuco area, which means tadpole, referring to the long tail on the cap. It is worn by children or young people who, like the tadpole, are immature versions of adults.
Narrative
Bought by the donor in 1983 in Pampa Lupiera, on the altiplano above Candelaria in the Tarabuco region of Bolivia.
