This simple headband with feathers came to me when I purchased a job lot of ex-theatrical hats.
Half of the hats were useful, some really great, but the other half I gave away to the kid's school dress up box.
Feathers, eagle feathers to be accurate were awarded in some native American tribes as badges of honour, one or two might be given in the whole lifetime of a warrior, these were usually displayed headressess.
Ordinary feathers were also tied in the hair, mixed with beads around the neck and also tied around the head in bands of leathers
The coloured feathers and headband I'm wearing are probably from a fancy dress pack.
