Two rows of feathers are woven into the shape of two connected wheels - one consisting of trimmed, blue-black feathers, the other of white tail feathers. To the right and left of the row are two and three red feathers respectively. Each white feather is connected to a thin rod, at the end of which a multi-coloured cover feather has been attached with wax. A braided ribbon is attached to the edges of each feather to secure it to the head. (Index card) Index card : The feather wheel ("AHETO" = house for the head) serves as a headdress and is part of the ceremonial jewellery worn by young men during initiation ("Hetôhoka"). Made in the form of two connected wheels of partially black-coloured palm leaf in the technique of wrapping beaded half-weaves, 2 rows of feathers are inlaid. The smaller row of feathers consists of straight, trimmed blue-black Arara wing or tail feathers, which are connected at the front with a white supporting thread drawn around the shaft. The larger row of feathers consists of 42 white jaburu tail feathers, the ends of which are trimmed straight. There are 2 red arara tail feathers on the right and left of the feather row and 3 red arara tail feathers at the top. Each of the white feathers is connected to a long, thin rod by a black thread wrapped around the shaft. Black-coloured plant fibres are wrapped around these rods, and at the end of each is a multi-coloured Arara cover spring attached with wax. The spring wheel is held to the head by a braided band of partially black-coloured plant fibre attached to the wheels.
