Headband made of red felt with a blue cotton(?) edging consisting of a horizontal band around the back enlarging into a slightly scalloped triangular shape in the front where it is decorated with a beaded light green, white, and light blue flower design. Five leaf-shaped off-white shells are sewn onto the band with two on each side and one in the centre of the flower design. Three rows of light blue beads, each ending with a long white conical bead, mark the two corners where the band grows triangular, and the edges of the blue border are emphasized by a row of white beads.
