Up for bidding in this lot is a wonderfully crafted Native American Indian ceremonial head dress. The piece won a "special award" at the 1976 "Tri-West Indian Arts & Crafts Show", in Anaheim California. The brim of the head dress shows polychrome trade seed bead work, with accenting drop feathers hanging from each temple. Sprouting from the tanned leather cap, are 360 degrees of white, black, and brown feathers. At the front and center of the cap, you can see a beautiful peafowl feather. The head dress is in good condition overall. The head dress measures 24" tall from the bottom of the cap, to the top of the tallest feather, it is 25" long from the front of the cap, to the farthest reaching feather.
