This Chi Wara headress has not been vetted. Despite its appearance, our default positition is that it was probably made to be sold.

This Chi Wara has a leather collar over the joint between the head and body pieces. Part of the right ear is broken off as is the tip of the right horn. The basketry is covered with woven fiber and adorned with cowrie shells.
