Summary: | A selection of hats and other cephalic headdress corresponding to the Pre-Hispanic, colonial-historical and contemporary periods. The catalog analyzes the hats as objects that communicate identities. The Pre-Hispanic used various materials (cotton, vegetable fiber, feather, minerals and camelid fiber); while in colonial times stands out the incorporation and adaptation of many Hispanic elements: the shape of the conical cap with earflaps, the use of chopsticks, use of dyes, as well as wool.
