    Description

    Karuk Northern California Woven Women's Hat
    Circa.1900
    Colored by the natural materials from which it is made, here is an authentic Karuk tribal
    women's hat, with a square start. Features a chocolate brown body with natural gold colored
    geometric motifs and black decorative lines.
    Though this hat displays well when inverted, it does have quite a few issues with horizontal splits, a ragged rim and it cuts an imperfect round when it is displayed like a bowl. You can judge this from my pictures.
    It has been around for more than 100 years.
    Hat measures: 3.5" tall x 7" in diameter.
