Description: Warfielders prize small but worthless tokens such as beads, keys, and broken jewelry. Traditionally, women wear the tokens of their foremothers on woolen helmet-shaped caps; they believe these tokens invite ancestral protection and power. An old woman will often distribute her tokens to loved ones with stories and songs; it is considered a great compliment to say that someone “died with her cap bare”, because it indicates the person has dispensed all their wisdom, shared all their lore, and faced the unknown bravely.
