Description: |
Native American items were often decorated meticulously with paint, beadwork, or quillwork with specific designs. This particular hair ornament was probably made around the early 1900s, and used primarily for decorative purposes. Originally, hair ornaments would have upright feathers attached at the top and were used for religious ceremonies. This piece is decorated with a geometric pattern, bull hair, leather and a mirror. |
