ABSTRACT

Full wire-framed headdresses were made for most of the characters in the show, including Eland, Rhino, Kolokolo Bird, Zebra, Bushbuck, Koodoo, Giraffe, Quagga, Alligator, Cooking Stove

(chimney), and Parsee (shaft hat). Half headdresses (ears only) were made for Dingo Dog, Jaguar, Leopard, and Kangaroo. Both the full and half headdresses were made of fl exible

aluminum conduit wire (also used in housing construction) built on top of the inner supports of construction helmets. All the headdresses were made with very much the same methods and materials, but in different shapes. The Eland horn headdress is presented as an example here.
