Summary

Description
English: Head wife of Chief Abiembali: Mayogo Tribe, Ituri District. Beneath the small, square-topped hat of woven vegetable fiber, she wears a sort of skull-cap adorned with hundreds of dogs' teeth, mostly canines. The crown of the hat is decorated with the red tail-feathers of the African gray parrot, which bird is often kept in captivity so that the much prized feathers can be pulled out as fast as they grow. The larger hatpin is made entirely of ivory, while the smaller consists of a thin, pointed bone from the forearm of a monkey.
