Cap

Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"310. Cap - "Songko-pateke".A  cap, formed like a European jockey cap, of split bamboo, very delicately woven; it is certainly a copy of a European model and not very prevalent, mostly just found around the large coastal regions where there are many Europeans; worn by workers."Translation of: Czurda, F.
