Description
-
The Nephite leather headdress is made of worn brown leather with side ear straps and includes a light brown suede neck flap. The silver and gold decals along with the gold trim around the edges give a shine while performing on stage. This headdress was created for the new Pageant opening in 1988. Headdress such as these were to be worn by the Nephites, followers of Nephi, while engaging in battle with the Lamanites, the followers of Laman. These two groups loathed on another due to the hatred and betrayal of Nephi by his two brothers Laman and Lemuel. Both the Nephites and Lamanites continued to war against each other for centuries.
