The Teehiton Hat
Carved portrait of the Teehiton Hat, also known as the Raven is the Prince
of the Town Hat. Red cedar, ink, copper and abalone. “My grandfather,
William L. Paul Sr., was the last owner of this crest hat,” said the artist,
Ben Paul. “He gave it to the State Museum in Juneau for safe keeping in
1945. He had suffered the loss of most of his own family possessions in the
1939 Goldstein Apartment building fire in Juneau, and then saw the complete
destruction of the village of Hoonah by fire in 1944. The Museum was the
safest place for our most prized Raven clan heirloom.” The name of this hat
is actually, “In Place Of, Raven is the Prince of the Town”. The original
hat was destroyed by fire about 1850 and this replica was made. “The name
Teehiton means cedar bark house and was my great grandmother Tillie
Paul’s house in Wrangell. She was Raven Clan, Frog crest,” Paul said.
Portrait is 16X10 inches carved on red cedar board measuring 34X16 inches. By
Ben Paul. $2,100.00
