content: Vertical portion of headdress. Long, white, hairy feathers inserted into a palm rib and blue/white cotton woven frame, which is in turn attached to a long palm rib which would be inserted into another headpiece, which is not present. Little down-covered palm rib pegs are inserted into a tube formed by cross-ties on the upper portion of the frame. The front of the woven portion has feathers dangling in front.
