Man's Turban Holder or shoulder cloth. Unique design. Whereas most Bukanis have pyramids of triangular forms at each end of each hat of the design this is divided by mirrors into 4 sections having pyramids on each side of each of the sections with a pair of peacocks that are unique in each of the 2 sections on one half and 2 pairs of more recognizable peacocks in each of the sections on the other half.. They are so abstract as to appear as peacocks primarily because of the piece they on on and the location of the piece. The “unrecognizable” peacocks have rectangular forms with noe of the traditional diamond shapes to identify the bodies. 2 pieces joined by 5/8’ of needle weavingAcquisition
