Description: The headgear of a Diviner is a traditional piece crafted from wildcat skin and soft cotton. It features a fringed base adorned with a white beaded flat tab, embellished with a modern geometric design in navy, red, and yellow. White beaded streamers cover the wearer's forehead, while two chin straps, also adorned with white beads, complete the piece. The back of the headgear is overlaid with a red diagonal design strip and four long white beaded streamers. This headgear is traditionally worn by male and female traditional doctors who have completed their training.
