Reminiscent of a crown, the headdress consists of
an open metal ring and two intersecting metal bands
affixed to the ring. The bands intersect in the center
and metal "reindeer antlers" are attached at the apex.
The surface of the bands are decorated with carved
geometric designs. Only powerful shamans who were servers of the cult for
the entire tribe could wear
the headdress.
