Notes
	Abstract:	The Pokot are a nomadic herding group for whom personal adornment and personal property are critical for conveying group identity. Young Pokot men spend hours grooming their hair and the hair of their age-mates. The intricacy of their hairdos and headdresses convey ideas of masculinity, strength, and courage, as well as the man’s identity as a Pokot person. To preserve the hairdo it is essential to have a headrest that the owner can carry with him while he tends his herds. The beaded adornments on the headrest indicate that he is a Pokot man of a certain age, and each has a unique configuration specific to the owner and his kin.
