This Chi Wara headress has not been vetted. Despite its appearance, our default positition is that it was probably made to be sold.

This Chi Wara has a metal collar over the joint between the head and body pieces. The tip of the left ear is broken off and the basketry has lost its covering. There is an area of wood loss on the left side of the face and a crack, now stable, at the back end where the two horns join.
