| Notes: | Hat purchased in market, Ifanadiana, Prov. Fianarantsoa. Of similar construction to Cat.no. 75787, but made entirely of Cyperaceae (species unknown). No lakatra hats were available anywhere in the market on that day, and we may assume that this prized, source of the finest hat weaving fibre is now exhausted in the area. | ||||
