Description

This Sami hat is blue with a red and yellow triangle design. There is a large red pom on the top. The lip is leather with punched holes, those in the center forming a triangle in white. The lip was sewn onto the hat with red yarn, which can be seen on the inside.

Context

The large poms were useful among herders as they could be easily recognized in snowy conditions.
