For the Loimi
this exists of a brimless hat decorated
in the front with
silver buttons
and silver balls,
and in the back with a silver
plate. The balls
are made by hammering a silver coin into a pre-shaped
concave in a wooden block, creating half a ball; the
process is repeated and the halves are then joined.
