Description

"Thursday, July 30, 1908 [underlined] [...] [Detail drawings, p. 39] [p. 40] Today a boy’s cap came into my possession. These things are made of white fabric and feature a line drawing, whose lines are stitched over with a sewing machine. Usually, the design is not created by the owner but the cap with the prepared design is bought from an Indian. Now the real work begins. The owner of a cap makes small holes in the empty spaces with the quill of a porcupine; the more holes he makes, the more valuable the cap is. All these holes are carefully sewn around with mostly colored thin silk thread, and these caps look quite nice. They ask 3 to 6 rupia for one piece. Mine was used and I paid 2 Rp. for it." [translation]

2 Rupien (gebrachter Zustand, eigentlich: 3-6 Rupien)
