Gift of Charlotte Elizabeth Dudley

Woven hat with a 3 tier stepped design. A break in the design is used to indicate the back of the cap.

Hollowed out tubular pipe. Often used in the sweat house, pipes were used for locally grown tobacco. This type of pipe is hand-carved out of hardwood, usually madrone, manzanita or oak, worked with sandstone, and polished with fibers of horsetail rush to create a very fine finish.

This skirt would be worn wrapped from back around the sides. The open front would then be covered by a fringed apron. This skirt shows signs of much wear. Most of the materials it is made from are from local sources with the exception of two copper discs, shaped and cut like the abalone. All the ornaments in addition to being aesthetically pleasing would make a sound as the woman moved in the dance. A small blue bead is fastened in the fringe.
