content: From card: "Red and black design with sweat band of decorated cloth. On exhibit: Hall 11, May 1990." Per Jay Stewart and Peter Macnair 7-20-2005 this is a spruce root hat, "maker unknown. The weaver and the painter of this hat appear to be the originators of a tradition of making spruce root hats for sale that continued into the 20th century. This is one of the earliest spruce root hats that was made for sale."
