Headdress3168/1 a-b

Geru board, or headdress. Made of thin plywood in a large diamond shape at centre, with a partial circle at top, and to the sides two ‘arms’ branching off at angles both upwards and down, separated by a small triangle. The board is painted red, blue and yellow mainly in triangle and diamond shapes, with front similar but more complex than back. At bottom is a headpiece lined with red cotton fabric, and topped by a synthetic orange material. Two wooden handles are attached to the bottom of the headpiece and wrapped with plant fibre. Part b is a plywood piece that has broken off one side of the headdress.
