Brazilian Feather Headdress Guajajara Tribe Ex-Museum Piece

Offered by: Tishu

Description
A headdress woven with natural fibers and assortment of colorful feathers, this tribal art piece was made by the indigenous people of Guajajara Indians living in the Brazilian state of Maranhao, located in the northeastern part of Amazon rainforest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site region. It retains a label from indicating that it was originally purchased from Artindia Funai, with additional info on the piece including the Museum Inventory No. 8.92.45. It appears to be a vintage authentic handcraft piece from the organization (National Indian Foundation) instead of a field-collected piece as it shows very little wear. Professionally presented on a canvas in an acrylic shadow box.
Provenance available to the buyer.
