Feather headdress, Kayapó, Amazon, Brazil Diameter: 30 cm Plant fibers and feathers Made from feathers (most likely from the green-winged macaw and the blue-and-yellow macaw) carefully assembled, this headdress was worn during ceremonies and major events in community life. It attests to the importance of feather art among the Kayapó, where adornments serve as true markers of identity, prestige, and belonging. Provenance: Brussels gallery, acquired ca. 1970.
