Description
-
This headpiece was used by volunteers in the performance of the pageant. In the pageant, it was used as a piece for ceremonial and celebration reasons to lead up into a battle.
It is a helmet-like headpiece stylized to look like an eagle. It consists of gold and black fabric with red cotton ball eyes and a fluffy top piece. The beak is mostly gold with the rest of the helmet being black with gold threads to add texture to the piece. Below, there are black straps for the wearer's head to be placed and rested.
The first four and eighth photos were taken with the helmet on a stand. The first of the four taken with it facing right, second facing left, third facing towards the camera, fourth facing away from the camera, and the last from above.
The fifth and sixth images depict the helmet not on the stand facing right and left, respectively.
The seventh image depicts the helmet from below, where the performer's head will rest.
