Basketry HatA8345

Dome-shaped, double-woven basketry hat. The warps and wefts are made from red cedar bark. A square at the top of the hat is done in a checkerboard plaiting and is outlined with double strand twining. The warps are then split and the twining becomes much finer. There are a few rows near the top which are accented with triple strand twining. This technique is also used near the bottom rim. The inside of the hat is also woven using twining, but the wefts and warps are larger in size. The checker work area near the top is outlined with a yellow grass-like material. There is a hat band attached to the interior lining.
