There are three splints on each side, some of them have come through the bark and are visible on the inside. The bailer is slightly warped, with one end wider than the other.
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.
