    Thank you Dawn for taking my suggestion in the right spirit!

    I think there could have been an exchange of many gifts when Queen Marie and family travelled in the US and that could include American native artifacts.

    I found two more pics - one is surely the same head ornament as Lorenzo posted?
    And the other, of course, is not !!
