    I can not find any info on this yet but will keep looking,
    The purpose of the horn-like ‘casque’ on the head is uncertain. It might be to push through undergrowth, assert dominance, or amplify the bird’s booming calls. an not find any info yet on this piece,but will keep looking
    I have photographed the necklace with the natural light behind it.
    Enjoy
