Portrait of an old Kwakiutl woman wearing a Chilkat blanket and a spruce root hat. The blanket is composed of abstracted crest designs in blue, yellow and black. The spruce root hat is woven of twisted root fibres into a narrow cylindrical crown with a broad flaring brim. This was a popular type of hat among the Kwakiutl, who borrowed it from the northern tribes around the middle of the 19th century., The work is on heavy high quality paper, and is in good condition
