About
Repeated along the length of this headband is a double-headed bird motif, in which the two heads are seen in profile and joined to a frontal body with outstretched wings. This design also appears in the tunic (1946.227) and mantle (1946.226). These three textiles may have formed a matched set that a socially prominent Paracas man would have worn as an ensemble.
