Panel 2 in a series of 20 panels. Drawing of a Tlingit ceremonial hat. The hat is yellow with a stylized animal drawn in black covering much of the shown surface. Topping the hat’s crown is a tall attachment consisting of a face with large round eyes, a small nose, and an open mouth with even, square teeth. A large red and green headpiece sits above the forehead, curving back at the top, with a hole through its centre. Long black hair is attached to the back of the piece. The hat sits on a vertical tree branch, with smaller branches curving above and to the side in the background. The drawing is split between 2 equally sized panels, one sitting on top of the other. Covered with plexi frame.
