In South America the brightly coloured feathers of parrots, toucans,
and macaws have been used to make headdresses since before the Spanish
conquest in the sixteenth century. Macaws are large and brightly
coloured. This bright blue headdress is decorated with macaw feathers.
It belonged to a chief and was collected between 1826 and 1829.
