The Karaja Peoples reside in the lowlands of the Matto Grosso of Brazil. They are well known for their ceramic dolls, baskets, and feathered objects. This particular headdress is called a lori-lori and consists of rosettes of feathers attached to a loose netted fiber weave. This headdress is used for a boy’s initiation ceremony celebrating his entry into adulthood. |
