Bamboo and cane helmet. Conical in shape with a small, spherical opening in the top of the helmet. The helmet is made from interweaving, thin strips of cane set around a bamboo ribbed shape. The helmet is very solid and hard in nature, despite being made of plant fibres. Some red pigment found on the hat around the interior.
