They come in a variety of shapes and styles and can be made of feathers and fur, straw, shells, stones and bones. Each hat tells something unique about the person wearing it. It can reveal the kind of environment he lives in, her wealth and power, one's social and marital status and a person's religious values and beliefs. This international collection of hats and headdresses is a tribute to the diversity of the world's cultures and enhances understanding of the differences and similarities of people across many societies.
