The hooped headband is decorated by single feathers and surmounted by a central eagle head to complete the ensemble. As noted by Jan Fontain, "The shaman was protected against supernatural negative forces by the magical properties of the tools of his trade. A headdress decorated with eagle feathers gave the shaman strength, while owl feathers endowed him with the power to see at night. Feathers, symbolizing wings, were also attached to the sleeves of his dress." (see Dancing Demons of Mongolia, 1999).Provenance:Robrecht Lamdin and Diane de Clerc, Brussels, 2000s
