Headdress (chi wara)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Headdress (chi wara) by is a dark brown sculpture. The piece features a square base with a rectangular hole. A curved, S-shaped support rises from the base, with multiple long, thin, curved protrusions. A flat, horizontal piece extends from the curved support. A tall, thin, pointed piece stands on the left. A smaller figure with a hat and object in hand sits atop a narrow post on the right. The background is a gradient from dark gray to light gray.
