Notes:
Crown of stamped, incised flat metal with five metal rods hanging from it. There are also five unattached metal rings as part of the crown. This was on exhibit in the Rhythms of Identity exhibition at the Smithsonian Latino Center (2000) with the Ochun Vessel (E436209) and the tools for the vessel (E436210). The goal of the RI collection was to provide context for Afro-Cuban musical instruments. Most items were bought in Cuban botanicas and are mass-produced religious items.
