Abstract
This system was designed to safely store feathered bonnets manufactured and worn by North American Indians. These bonnets vary in stylistic details and component decorative parts. The basic construction usually is a soft leather or wool cap with long feathers attached to it around the rim. The mount described here also is suitable for the storage of other softsided hats and caps.
