Scalps. Each warrior wears a long tuft of horsehair. This answers as his scalp. He can lose this only in an important competition, approved by the Council, in which he stakes his scalp against that of some other Brave. If he loses he surrenders his tuft to the winner and goes tuftless until the Council think proper to give him a new scalp.
But the winner keeps the old scalp for a teepee or other decoration, and counts Coup or Grand Coup, as the Council may decide. The warrior without tuft cannot sit in Council or take part in the competitions.
