Exhibit Label
8. TWINED SPRUCE ROOT HAT Haida-style weaving;
painted blue-green
It appears that this hat was painted blue-green only, while
No. 3 had a pattern painted on it, and was then painted
over. Many Haida-style hats in museum collections have
this finish, which may have been applied as rainproofing.
