Made from a mix of 16 select large turkey feathers realistically simulating immature eagle feathers and 16 dark brown moxtavovetas feathers, all being arranged on the crown as to form a dark cross in rear view. The feather quills are reinforced with stiff rawhide loops, wrapped with red trade cloth patches ("firecrackers") and attached to the skull cap with a buckskin string, creating the bonnet's flared look. The feathers have white fluff decoration at the base and are accented with white gypsum («coup dots»), blue and yellow horsehair tufts.

The skull cap is made from 2 pieces of German tanned hide, sewn with real sinew and covered with red trade cloth. The gaps between the feathers are filled with highly coveted ermine fur.

The buckskin browband is decorated with flattened and dyed porcupine quills, featuring 4 red-blue-yellow triangles on a white background.

Each side of the bonnet is decorated with 2 sinew-sewn ermine tubes with skunk fur tips and ribbons of natural silk.

In the middle of the crown there is a stripped Sun Dance quill, tipped with nice yellow fluffs and surrounded with a cluster of cut-and-stripped feathers dyed blue and yellow.

In the rear portion is tied a pouch with a personal war medicine.
