This frontlet is worn on the forehead of a dancer participating in the Tlasula. The back of the headdress is usually covered with a strip of swanskin. Around the upper rim is attached a row of sea lion whiskers. To the back of the crown is attached rows of ermine skins. The carving on this frontlet is apparently a family crest figure representing a hawk or thunderbird. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
