This gorgeous handmade lei humu papale (feather hat band) is made in 2 layers to give the band the desired "mound" in the more traditional humu papale (feather lei making style). This has a layer of blue goose coquille topped with iridescent blue peacock feathers and accented with yellow pheasant crown feathers. These feathers are gathered from molting birds - these are the blue feathers around the neck region. The feathers need to be washed, steamed, trimmed, sorted and then each of the hundreds of feathers are sewn with 5 stitches each. This literally takes many many hours to complete. But it is magnificent 25" x 1-3/4" band with velcro closure.
