This unusual and small old crown (?) is formed on a gourd and does not look like it was intended to be worn. Only a few of the veil strands survive.

The inside is lined with a simple dark green cotton cloth, stretched across the bottom and torn from handling.

The bird on the top of the crown has an extension that inserts into a hole on the top of the crown. It is removable.

If you would like a stand for this piece, please inquire.
