Only the strongest and bravest of men and women become honored warriors. They must prove their skill and dedication in battle, and their bravery must be undeniable.
This bone hair pipe breastplate is heavily decorated with feathers, painted jawbones, and many glass beads. Each added piece is a trophy representing honorable deeds in battle.
Feathers include turkey and imitation crow (real feathers dyed black); beads are all glass and brass. Hair pipe is carved from buffalo bone, and the straps are all leather. There are ties behind the neck and around the torso.
