This is a hat band that is woven. The beadwork is done in greens, yellow, blues and white. The pattern is a geometric pattern with American flags. The two ends are tied together and have a tassel at the ends.
On March 16, 2015 during a NAGPRA collections review, designated tribal representatives from the three Ute tribes informed History Colorado staff that this hatband has a segmented design, which is typical of Ute design.
