Doll with fur trimmed tunic. Large female doll has a leather face with protruding nose; eyes, brows and mouth are embroidered in black thread. A deep hood lined with long animal fur can be lifted to completely cover the head and face. This is sewn to the tunic which is made of a flowered fabric and edged around hem and wrists with fur. A wide knit belt in red and orange with tasseled ends is fastened around the doll’s waist. Legs are made of stuffed blue felt with tall leather-soled boots on the feet.

Headdress of macaw, toucan and parrot feathers. Brim made of woven palm bark, above a strip heavily wrapped with fine wool. On the outside of the brim are two layers of short blue and yellow feathers lying horizontally, with a layer of yellow feathers adhered upright to the woven rim. Behind this are seven upright, long painted tubes into which seven long blue and yellow feathers are inserted (parts b-h). Three bird wings with red and blue feathers are attached at the back of the brim. Below are tied several long strands of fibre, some threaded with small white glass beads. Intermittently down each strand are attached feathers in various sizes, in small groupings gathered at their quills by short lengths of palm tubes. Some strands include dark brown, elongated seeds. Together the strands would create a dense fall, down the back of the wearer.

Headdress of vibrantly coloured macaw, toucan and parrot feathers. Long bright blue feathers topped by shorter light green, red and yellow feathers create a brim at front of headdress, above which stands a tall crown of the same that splays slightly to the sides when worn. To the back of the headband are attached several strands of different lengths, made of fibre threaded with small white glass beads. Intermittently down each strand are attached small groupings of feathers in various sizes, held at their quills by short lengths of palm tubes. Some strands include elongated dark brown seeds. This creates a long, dense fall of feathers down the back of the wearer.
