A wooden headdress depicting a mythic antelope mother and child. The larger antelope has long horns, a narrow face, and a curved neck. Each horn has carved into it three sets of four rings. A pattern of carved lines runs vertically down each side and across the forehead. Attached to the face with small nails are metal decorations down both cheeks and across the forehead. A similar decoration is found on both sides of the torso and across the back. The eyes are made of metal nails with a large head. In the ears are round twisted metal rings. The small antelope is on her back. Its short horns are also carved with rings, two sets of four per horn. It has a round twisted metal nose ring, the same large-headed nails for eyes, and earrings of shell and red and blue plastic beads. The large-headed nails are used as decoration in various locations on the figure.
