Basketry HatA4255

Dome-shaped, double-woven, cedar basketry hat with plaited square at the top. The square is outlined with double strand twining in a yellow grass. The cedar bark is then divided and finer twining continues in cedar bark. One row of triple strand twining is used to add a decorative feature near the top, while there are two more rows used to finish of the bottom. These latter rows are separated from each other by three rows of double strand twining. The inner hat is not as finely woven as the outer hat. It has a hat band attached inside.

HatA3239

Basketry hat with painted designs and a flared brim. The warps are made of red cedar bark and a small square of checkerboard plaiting is present at the top. The hat is woven of triangle sedge grass, using double strand twining. The warps are divided after several rows and the weaving becomes finer. Green-dyed grass has been used in several areas as an accent combined with the use of three strand twining. The painted design is of a male figure with hands upraised, flanked on either side by fish or whale figures. The paint is a dark green colour and badly faded. The rim of the hat is finished with dyed grass and a black yarn-like material. The hat has a cap-shaped liner woven into its interior. The liner is diagonally twined.
