content: E200089 - E200094 form a set. See p. 180 and Plate 35, after p. 180 in "Anthropological Studies in California" by William Henry Holmes in U.S. National Museum Annual Report for 1900. To see a similar headdress/headband set to E200090 - 92 as worn you can consult Autry Museum of the American West photos P.548 to P.552 (available online) which show a Yokuts medicine man, Bob Bautista (Trehlawat/Trex' Lawat, ca. 1843-1923) also known as Old Bob, posed in a feather headdress, a beaded apron with waistband, and wrist ornaments, circa 1920. Link to P.552: http://collections.theautry.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=M206016;type=102 . In the photos, he appears to be holding a feather wand in his right hand similar to E200093.
