ANCIENT TEXTILES | Pre-ColumbianHATS
The William Siegal Gallery offers rare and excellent examples of creative textile weaving in the form of hats. In Pre-Columbian cultures, headwear was very significant because it denoted hierachy status & societal association. Called, "Four Corners," because they are square. These are cut pile & crocheted examples of some of the most beautiful styles.
