THE EYEBALL HEADDRESS



The Fluxus Indians wore a lot of different hats, helmets, masks and headdresses.  Each major 
occasion and ritual had special headdresses.  Few authentic examples have survived.




A rare survivor is the EYEBALL HEADDRESS.**  The Headdress was worn at numerous 
Fluxus celebrations and parades. A doll wearing an Eyeball Headdress was also a favorite among 
Fluxus children (see Fluxus Eye Doll). Unfortunately, little else is known 
about the meaning, significance or use of this appealing mask.

The Residents, is known for its use of a similar headdress.
