Exhibit Label
1. TWINED SPRUCE ROOT HAT
Haida-style weaving
The vertical zigag pattern on the brim of this hat is called
snail's tracks. The jogs (see hat label on research desk)
on this hat are very subtle, with no abrupt jumps between
rows, making it likely that this was woven by a very
experienced and careful weaver.
Late 1800s; Walter C. Waters Collection; No. 1-1590
