content: From card: "Badly damaged; no tail. Feathers sewn to band of leather ca. 10.0 cm. wide. Leather covered with red cloth and a quill-covered wooden hoop present on each side. Sinew-sewed. "The headdress is a straight-up feather bonnet. ... resembles Blackfoot style but represents a type of headdress that probably was more widely worn on the Upper Missour ante-1850. Not Catlin's Crow on horseback" (J.C. Ewers, 10/19/64)".
