Headgear


Knitted grey pullover mask.

I love all kinds of headgear. What's not to love about rolled plantain fibre, quilted pith helmets and beaded buckskin. Even the names are perfect. From the Peabody Collection, though I saw them here first.


Quilted pith helmet originally belonging to F.J. Gillen.


Plantain Fiber Fighting Turban.


Apache buckskin cap.
