ornament, head
human history
Headband. This headband is made from woven natural coloured and green dyed lou akau (pandanus). The middle has a spiral decoration and sprouting from the centre, are 13 rosettes, brown and green in colour, and different sizes. This headband would have been a part of a full set of dance attire, perhaps worn in place of a tekiteki (head ornament).
