The crown-like headgear is shown in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. The crown-like is shown in a profile view, facing the viewer's right. Some feathers are just visible above the red trim. The black details consist of two horizontal strips near the top of the diadem. The red trim is what comes to be tied in the back.
