The Indian Headdress stamps were the first in the Folk Art Series to be issued as booklets.  The headdresses were prized personal possessions, generally created by the warrior himself, and were usually buried with their owner at death.  The headdresses were made from such materials as eagle and turkey feathers, beads, fur, hair tassels, and animal skins.
