Male Headdress

This male headdress has a rattan braided lining and a red woolen cloth adorns the outside. White, four-holed buttons and black beads are stitched onto the cloth, and a white porcelain lid is attached to each seam. The two lateral sides are decorated with jewels that seem like sapphires. Extending from the headdress are red wool pendants, each end having two strings of bordeaux-colored wool tassels.
