STORAGE OF HEADDRESSES | ||||||||||
The manner of storing the Plains headdresses was as clever as the head coverings themselves. The roach was wrapped around a sculptured wood form, with a knob on top which was inserted through the hole in the roach just as the hair was inserted when the roach was worn on the head. A piece of bright trade cloth was then wrapped around the roach and the wood form to hold them together in a neat package. Feather bonnets were folded and rolled together into cylindrical shape as small as six inches in diameter or - eight for a bonnet with a tail - and then inserted in long, round rawhide carrying cases which were hung on the saddle while traveling. |
