A headdress with a beadwork head band trimmed cap made of skin and beige fabric from which extends a crown of long brown eagle feathers. Each feather has an attached diamond-shaped piece of burgundy velvet fabric with white down feathers at the tip and the bottom ends are wrapped with green and red felt-like fabric and attached to the cap above the beadwork with skin loops. The head band has a design of mountains and crosses in red, green, orange, blue and pink on a white background, a large metal pin at the centre, and strands of metal, plastic and seed beads draped around it. From each side of the cap hang feathers, red ribbons with plastic hoops, bundles of dark hair, and strands of brass beads.
