content: Conical shaped basketry farmer's hat. Handwoven with semi-rigid natural colored fibers. Lower section of hat (extending ca. 6 cm. from rim) is woven with doubled warp in plain weave. In the upper section of the hat, the bottom layer of the double warp is woven, but the top layer is left unwoven. These unwoven strips are gathered into sections and tied together in a bundle at the top of the hat. Strips of brown fiber are woven into the lower section to form decorative vertical lines. Two single brown fibers are also woven in at intervals around the upper portion of the hat to help hold the loose unwoven fibers in place.
