Straw hat Symbolism
In art, a straw hat commonly signals sun protection and the seasonal rhythms of outdoor life. Depending on context, it can point to casual leisure in the open air or to agricultural work, with the broad brim cueing bright, sunlit settings. Its humble, woven material ties the wearer to rural or informal environments.
