HatA3723

Dome shaped, double-woven, cedar bark hat with a design that is painted on. The hat has plaiting at the top which is outlined with double strand twining. The warps are then split and the twining becomes finer. A row of triple strand twining separates the top from the sides of the hat. The body of the hat is woven with double strand twining and features a painted design. The design is expansive; the main elements are two large eyes in black outlined in green with grey-blue under brow. The bottom rim of the hat has a row of triple strand twining. The hat liner is woven in a similar manner to the exterior hat, but not as finely. The liner does not extend to the full height of the hat, but stops just below the hat band which is twill woven (over two, under one).
