Annotation:

Poompoo, a hunter’s head cape, is made from white cotton fabric, and decorated at the back and on the sides with inserts of multicolor fabrics with an appliqué spiral ornament embroidered in silk threads. The cape protected the neck and face against midges and gnats and in winter, against cold and snow. The hunter wore a small “bogdo” cap over it.
