content: Thick, interlaced buriti band, tied and fastened to form headband with 2 tassel-like tails. 17 feathers inserted vertically all around the upper rim. 4 are brown, or brown/white. All feathers are under 16 cm long. Dr. Newton says this belonged to Maria Castello Canela, the messianic leader in 1963 and brought to the Krikati by Deputado Pedro Braga from the Barra do Corda area. He was driving through the Krikati area and stopped over in the Krikati village, October 20, 1963, where he told us of Maria Castello's confinement to her house. She had given this headdress to him and he left it with us. Used, worn, with jointed ends (horns) to front. Headband is buriti frond, interlaced. Feathers are macaw, parrot and other.
