content: Description provided by Doggett: "A Dhassanac man wearing traditional headdress.  In this labor-intensive style, multiple coatings of clay and water are applied to the hair; indigo paint and an ostrich feather serve as the final touches.  In addition to their aesthetic value, headdresses like this one protect against skin and hair parasites."
