The Mystic Sunset War Bonnet and Bustle Combo are an elegant pair with fine craftsmanship using only natural materials.
Each feather is meticulously hand painted and decorated with leather spots and genuine horse hair.
There is a super thick row of black, yellow and red fluffs along the feather base.
The brow band and matching rosettes are hand beaded, and a beaded drape of bells and brass fall under the brow band.
The drops are Ringtail cat tails. These are hard to get anymore so they may be substituted for rabbit fur or fox tails.
Accompanied with the fur drops are beads and fringed leather for added decoration.
The matching bustle features a hand sewn beaded center rosette. This is a beautiful couple. The picture also shows a black horn hair pipe and brass breastplate choker which is sold separately.

Willie G Bustle Combo
The Thunderbird War Bonnet and Bustle Combo feature master craftsmanship.
This bonnet is made using over 40 high quality feathers, which are tipped with white leather spots, beige feather fluffs and genuine horsehair.
The base row of feather fluffs, black, beige, orange and white, are so thick it resembles a fur hide. Added to that are Lady Amherst Pheasant tail feathers for a bright contrast of color atop the black base feathers.
The brow band features a full color Thunderbird to match the bonnets coloring, along with matching hand beaded rosettes. Genuine Coyote tails are used for the drops at either side, along with leather strips with glass crow beads.
The Thunderbird Bustle is made in the same fashion as the bonnet. Together, these two items are a true masterpiece.
