I have seen a couple of the horned headdress over the years, in paintings, but the others are absolutely unfamiliar to me. How very interesting.

It's going to take a while for these images to sink in. I need to get a sense of what they were and how they looked on the people. Can't imagine what their societies were like at the same time where something like that would seem appropriate! Amazing.

I need to go looking for more on them. They raise so many questions!

Thank you, wnylb.

You're not kidding! So wild. I knew they were deeply religious, but they went all out. Judi Lynn Jan 2021 #5

I found one which looks pretty complex. It would take a lot of time to construct it, by all means! Judi Lynn Jan 2021 #8
