It is an oval-shaped helmet made of cane and used among the Medjas or Abors, Arunachal Pradesh, for armoring a war man as well as ceremonial display. The helmet is finely woven with cane strips covering the whole outer surface, thus providing structure and beauty. The helmet is flat-top with rounded bases that afford snug fitting as well to the head. An important decorative element in the helmet is the frontal ornamentation of two bear's teeth and tufts of animal hairs, which not only give it an attractive Look, but could have symbolic significance that possibly refers to strength, and protection. A thick, curved cane ribbon is bent along the rim of the helmet to further strengthen its shape and form. This helmet, which is used during ceremonial displays or warfare among tribes, speaks of the craftsmanship and cultural identity of a people. It involves a deep understanding of local resources and artisanal skills reflected by the choices of materials and the intricacy of weaving.
