This feathered hat was made and used by the Waodäni people of Amazonian Ecuador. It is decorated with green, black, blue, red, white, and yellow toucan and parrot feathers, and has an orange and black trim made from monkey fur. Elisabeth and her husband Jim became missionaries in the 1950s to people in remote regions living in the Ecuadorian Amazon. After Jim’s death, Elisabeth returned as a missionary to Ecuador. This hat was kept by Elisabeth Elliot as a reminder of her time living among the tribe as a Christian missionary during the 1950s.
