Description
The head-dress is of the type common to the Klamath River tribes -a broad band of deerskin partially covered with a row of red scalps of the woodpecker. The massive necklace of clam-shell beads indicates the wealth of the wearer, or of the friend from whom he borrowed it. He carries a ceremonial celt of black obsidian and a decorated bow.
