A golden-brown hat, wider at the base and tapering upward into a rounded cone, is made of twined cedar bark. Fine horizontal rows of a tight weave cover the entire surface, creating a uniform, ribbed texture. The hat culminates in a small, flat circle at its apex, while a slightly thickened, rounded rim borders the bottom edge.
