One piece of fabric is longer than the other; the shorter piece has a red and pink embroidered panel in the centre. The pieces are attached in the centre. Along the outside edges of the larger piece thin metal discs are sewn. Smaller metal discs are sewn all over the shorter piece. Two strands of orange and yellow beads extend from the centre of the headdress, one in either direction. String and fabric loops and one red button extend from the centre piece. Attached to one of the string loops is a black braided tassel that branches into two brown and one orange tassels. The tassels are accented with orange and brown wrapped thread and black and white beadwork.
