Mohawk  Gustoweh  Headdress
Rare, handcrafted, fitted headpiece decorated with turkey feathers, hand cut and stamped metal band, and German silver brooches, and with two of the traditional eagle feather holders on top. The location and number of the eagle feathers indicates which nation a headdress is from and this one, with the two on top, is possibly Cayuga or Oneida. Very good condition. Mid/Late 1900s. Adult size.
