Dawn Randazzo locates an example of a gut cap in a book that closely resembles the one being examined in the Berlin Ethnological Museum. The comparable cap uses caribou hair, prompting discussion among the group about whether this cap also uses caribou hair, or if Elder hair might also have been included in the design for good luck.
