HatContext
Not too long ago, women made their own hats. This original homemade hat is rare to find today. This old lady sold me her hat for $12 and went home without a hat after she spent part of the cash to buy coca. At high elevations in many parts of southeastern Peru, both men and women chew coca regularly.Collection
