Hearst Museum object titled Monkey scalp, accession number 5-1587, described as Suku cap, monkey skin. 7.5 inch diameter. Essentially viewed as more than just an ordinary cap of cloth, as more decorative, prettier, but has no more meaning beyond that. Ordinarily, since monkey skin is apt to be more available to good hunters, it is these people who have such caps and their wearing them does connote the good hunter.
