Hearst Museum object titled Cap, accession number 1-10526, described as Basketry hat. Dirty and grimy, worn. White overlay; thin horizontal zigzags and stripes; 2- faced overlay. Mostly plain twined; 3-strand twining 2 cm radius from start; also a single row defines the design zones at 2.5 cm and 9 cm from rim. Tag "Nongatl". Per Ralph Shanks: Dome-shaped twined basket hat. Crossed warp starting knot. Probably hazel (Corylus cornuta californica) warps and conifer root (Pinophyta) wefts, with a beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) overlay design. There is some string at the rim holding on a remnant portion of three weft rows of plain twining. Starting at the starting knot there is 3/4 inch of three strand twining, followed by 1 1/4 inch of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 2 1/2 inches of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1 inch of plain twining. The rim is trimmed. The design is primarily three horizontal rows of beargrass zigzags. The overlay is primarily single-sided with the main overlay on the exterior and some design on the interior. The workface is on the exterior. The basket has a rightward work direction and an up to the right slant of weft twist. The basket undulates. Three Cabins, where the documentation says this hat was made, is 16 miles south of Blue Lake, in Wiyot territory. It looks like other Wiyot hats Dawson described to Shanks, and the design is similar to what is called a man's design, but not enough is known about Wiyot or Nongatl hats to assign this as a men's hat from either culture.
