A middle-aged woman wearing a conical sunhat, printed pajamas, and a long-sleeved shirt rides or pilots a boat at Hoi An. The image shows how the dark cloth chin strap of traditional Vietnamese sunhats is attached inside the plaited fiber cone. The ribbed structure inside the cone hat is also visible.
