Description
Hat with a flat crown and shallow round brim, similar in shape to a boater, woven from palm leaf. The hat is constructed with a coiled basketry technique, with a spiral of palm leaf fibre sewn into place with lines of palm fibre stitching radiating from the centre of the crown. The sides of the crown are slightly convex, narrowing where they meet the brim.
