Lamanite Priest Headdress

Description
-
A headdress with blue/black feathers towards the front and green towards the back. There's an emblem on the front that resembles a sunrise, and circular ear flaps hanging down from either side. Behind the feathers, there's a cone sticking out with braided macrame coming out of it, intended to flow down the back of the wearer. The front and rim are adorned with a shiny gold material. The feathers were likely replaced several times throughout the headdress's life, as opposed to the braided macrame, which was made to look like feathers from a distance, but was easier to clean and reuse. The Lamanites were one of the two warring tribes in the Book of Mormon, typically considered the "bad guys."
