Dayak ? hat for ID

Indianajones · 22nd July 2011, 11:06 AM

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.
