Gamsbart
The gamsbart (literally chamois beard) is a tuft of hair traditionally worn as a decoration on hats in the alpine countries of Europe. Originally worn as a hunting trophy and made exclusively from hair from the chamois's lower neck, gamsbarts are today manufactured on a large scale from various animals' hair and are commonly sold at souvenir shops.
