The more imposing the headdress, the higher the hierarchical level of the wearer. This type of tiara is worn on the back of the head. The circular arrangement of arrows represents the sun and light radiating from nature. The white color is a tribute to the moon. The fine stones in the center of the headdress represent wealth and invoke an offering to the gods of light.
