Description

Double weave basketry hat. Hat is cone-shaped, made in a small tight weave, undecorated but for two slightly protruding encircling lines placed just below peak and above the rim. Hat’s point is made of four wide strips of bark that are then separated into smaller strands and incorporated into the general weave. A smaller inset cone is found high in the interior, serving as a headband. Its rim is lined with a weave of cotton.
