content: Coiled basketry base (visible on the inside). Wide strip of leather, covered with red cotton fabric, extends over the top from ear to ear. Thin braided leather chin strap. Another wide strip of woven leather, with a red cotton fabric ridge in the center, extends over the top from front to back. Animal hair tassel wrapped in red cotton fabric attached to top. Other areas covered with cowrie shells. Long tail attached to the back, made of black and red cotton fabric with leather edging. Shorter piece, similar to the tail, attached to the front (this would presumably cover the nose). According to the donor, this is a dancing cap.
