DescriptionStraw hat made of a dark brown, light brown, and red design. The base of the hat appears to be lined with a single row of wood (?) wrapped in the dark brown straw, thus creating a thick rim. Above the rime are 3 small bands of either red wood (?) or wood painted red (?) wrapped around the hat. Above that again appears simply a wide band of the woven light brown straw. Now, to look at the top of the hat: the outer rim is made up of a dark brown design, and the center of the hat: of a red and dark brown design. The rest is light brown.
