Diadem Pejàtijamy êdjà-kam djà

Pejàtijamy êdjà-kam djà diadem, large diadem of yellow tail feathers of a crested oropendola (psarocolius decumanus), used above all during the naming festivals of women 'meni-bi'ok', and by those, of both sexes, who they inherited the privilege. It is always used with support.
His swaying to the rhythm of the dance gives the idea of a person flying. In reality all diadems and plumari ornaments, in addition to the idea of beauty, express the desire to fly.
In the Museum since 2002. From the village of A'ukre.
