Traditional hat of shepherds in northeastern Brazil.

A gift from a group of Brazilian medical workers who visited Stalingrad in 1953. A men’s hat. It is a hat with a conical crown decorated with a trim and perforated holes and has a hard felt medium brim. Two straps, a chinstrap and a back strap are pulled onto the brim, thus turning into a kind of fringe made of leather straps that fall down on both sides of the hat. The gift was given to the Soviet scientists at the Convention of oncologists in Brazil.
