HeaddressEe70 a-b

Part of a woman’s ornamental headdress that consists of two large, stiff, flat, (roughly) semi-circular pieces, each made of two layers of animal skin (probably lamb or goat), with short, dark curly hair intact, glued together back to back. The top edge of each semi-circle comes to a point, and when worn, the pieces protrude from the sides of the head, resembling large ears. The two pieces are attached together at the bottom end, and as well, are attached with a 7 cm ‘bridge’ made of twisted wool fibre at about mid-point. One side of each of these ‘ears’ is plain, without further adornment, while the reverse side is embellished at the bottom end with five rows of braided cords made of coarse wool fibre. These cords are glued or sewn onto the surface of each ‘ear,’ and then extend down the back of the wearer for approximately 116 cm; they are tied together about 57 cm from the bottom. Ee70 b is a length of loosely twisted wool yarn, with a decorative brass hook at the each end.
