A statement of rank and status, this Mangbetu head adornment has been intricately woven into patterns of darker and lighter colours, from horizontal and vertical stripes to a series of diamond-shapes along its rims. A striking characteristic of this head adornment is the attached, bursting plumage of forest bird feathers, with a beautiful iridescent sheen.
