From the museum record

Owned and used for entertainment by young unmarried men only among some Baga subgroups, this type of headdress is said to represent the Maiden, a beautiful young woman. With a beaded necklace and eyes embellished with furniture tacks, the headdress was attached to a cone-shaped costume consisting of colorful cloths and raffia and constructed over a bamboo armature.

Lupin’s visual index

A dark-brown wooden sculpture depicts a female figure with outstretched arms and a beaded necklace.
