I have recently lost a very special cotton-woven winter hat that I received from my uncle when he climbed Mt. Everest in Nepal. It is mainly gray with a white/blackish wave pattern in the middle and soft blue material on the inside. It has woven tails on the sides covering the ears and one on top as well. If any of you have seen or happen to have it, please return it to its rightful owner, as it is very dear and special to me.

Thank you,
