wood, colour pigments, metal, braids and teeth worked separately, rest., base

The Ekoi (Ejagham) are credited with being the first to have made and
danced with leather-covered headdresses. From them, this custom is said
to have spread throughout the Cross River area, and thus to have been
adopted by the Boki.
