Among the many treasures of Samoan tradition is the Tuiga, a ceremonial headdress which symbolises power, prestige, and cultural identity.
For centuries they were worn by chiefs and high-ranking men and women during important ceremonies, battles and celebrations.
There has been a cultural shift, with the Tuiga now being repositioned as a dance-oriented adornment.
But this has not changed how culturally significant it is for Samoans.
