Traditional feather used as an attribute of Eleguá, placed on or at the top of Eleguá’s head. Within Lukumí/Ifá tradition, the parrot feather is associated with distinction, authority, royalty, and Eleguá’s position as a prince and messenger. One traditional account specifically explains that Eleguá wears the parrot feather on his lerí (head) as an insignia distinguishing his rank.
