HatA1479

Double woven hat with spruce root wefts on outside and red cedar bark wefts inside. The hat has a domed appearance with indented top. The warps are red cedar bark, and are plaited at the top. The warps are split and twined with spruce root. Double strand twining is used to cover first three and then two warps at a time for several rows, and then one at a time. Some of the warps near the top rim have been dyed. A large area of natural coloured spruce root wefts follows, with triple strand twining preceding a decorative band. This horizontal band of zigzag design is done in yellow and faded purple. Near the bottom rim there is a row of triple strand twining that is dyed purple. It is followed by two rows of double strand twining which alternate purple and the natural yellow. The bottom of the hat is finished with a row of triple strand twining with purple dyed wefts. The hat liner is woven with red cedar bark wefts, except for a few areas where grass is used. The top is also plaited and then the warps are split and twined. There is a decorative row that alternates light yellow and purple dyed grass. Several rows of double and triple strand twining in red cedar follow. A hat band of diagonally plaited red cedar bark is then introduced. It has a strip of grass plaited into it near the point of attachment. Decorative bands in purple/yellow and purple/turquoise follow. The warps are split in two again near the rim.
