- Description
- A roach headdress made from porcupine guard hairs sewn around the edge of a support made from braided strips of fabric stitched together in an elongated shape much in the same manner as a braided rug. The long porcupine hairs are of natural colour and fan open when the braided mat is attached to the curvature of the head. A short length of cord has been stitched to the underside of the braided mat, with short lengths of heavy thread sewn at intervals along the edges. Stored with large carved b) club of wood inside to hold the form of the hairs smooth, and wrapped with a length of cord.
