content: FROM CARD: "FEATHERS OF PEACOCK AND ROUGH LEGGED HAWK INVENTORIED 1975. ILLUS.: HNDBK. N. AMER. IND., VOL. 11, GREAT BASIN, FIG. 7 LEFT, PG. 297." Handbook caption identifies as: "Headdress with a forked trail that would have reached the ground behind the wearer. The headband is of red stroud covered with a buckskin band with seed beads lazy-stitched in triangles of dark blue, light purple, green, and yellow, with edge bands of dark green and yellow. Erect rough-legged hawk and peacock feathers are attached, as are antenna-like wires strung with tan linen yarn, anchored behind buttons with green ribbon pendants. Below the headband is a scalp lock with a tuft of split red-tailed hawk feathers. The red stroud trailer is edged with blue stroud affixed by zigzag interlocking stitches of yellow yarn. On the edges are brass buttons with red, green, and yellow ribbon pendants; hawk bells and brass buttons alternate along the form edges. The trailer once had 3 parallel lines of pendants: red-tailed hawk feathers, the quills wrapped with dark blue, red, and green and white seed beads, attached to hawk bells. At the apex of the fork are a magpie feather, swan feather, and small red-dyed plumes, stuffed under a hawk bell."
