Dayak ? hat for ID

Nice hat, but nothing to do with dayak imho.
On Borneo everything is made with small strips of rattan.

This fibre makes me think of South East Asia main land or maybe even direction of China.

Hi Colin, I reckognise the hat as being North Philippine (as I'm a collector of that region). The duo colored cords and the triangles of white beads etc all are endemic to the Gaddangtribe or actually most of these so-called 'salakot' are described as being Tinguian tribe.
I included a quite vague pic (unfort.) of a chief n wife wearing such a hat. Searching on the term 'salakot' you would find some more examples I think, though perhaps more dome-shaped examples with fine weaving.

Hope this helps.

Just a quick add; love that Dayak picture of that man with the face on its hat, Vandoo! (and the nice mandau) -not seen it before-

Just add two pics of a salakot-hat I have made of a half calabash and adorned on the inside (!) with rings wounded with colored thread; quite strange but very fine also. Early 20th cent. example. Also have included a pic to show that particular colorcombination that is characteristic from the area; Gadangtribe/ Tinguian tribe (Abra province, Luzon, N.-Phil.)

This will perhaps understate my findings a bit to you all. Although I have not encountered this specific type before.
Also a thing to add; different types of 'salakot' were worn allover the Philippines, and most you find are probably from the Visaya's or South.

best, Wouter

Hello Colin,

I've no idea of hats, but I had a quick look in the museumdatabase's.
The one that looks the most identical (just looking at the shape), is this one from Molucan island Ceram.
