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 metal collar over the joint between the head and body pieces. The front projection (was possibly a horn) shows small, old, non-active powder post beetle holes. The basketry is covered with woven cloth (some tucked under) and is adorned with cowrie shells.
