One of the Northwest Coast basketmaker's most interesting products is the hat. Generally conical in shape, with variations in form and structure from region to region, they were light, waterproof, and decorative. The figures represented on this hat are two killer whales and a raven. This is a type that could be used for everyday wear as well as for formal occasions. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
