They are currently in a small protective case that will come with them. Details that came with it: Exclusively the product of men and requiring about two days labor to fashion the Hixkayana comb is fabricated of the following materials: upper crosspiece of monkey bone, tapestry of tucum fabric, lower crosspiece of native cotton woven around wood, teeth of "pachiuba" palmwood (this was also used for bows and darts), and macaw bird feathers. Pronounced "Hishakah-ree-ah-nah" and meaning "People of the White Deer", the Kixkarvana inhabit a remote virgin wilderness of Brazil's northern Amazon. Only 120 or so in number, they are called by their Indian neighbors a "fierce people" and by Desmond and Grace Derbyshire, an English missionary couple living with and loving them a "gentle people". Dwelling along the upper reaches of the River Nhumanda a series of raging cataracts maintains their isolation from the rest of the world. Shipping: USPS Priority in US Thank you for viewing my ad!
