Tomaga

Description

A leather device that is placed on the eagle’s head and covers both of its eyes. Tomaga is used to calm the bird and prevent it from flying away when it is not participating in hunting. It is also used when it is necessary to wash the bird. The part that is placed on the head is shaped like a helmet. There is a protrusion at the bottom that matches the eagle’s beak. There is a cord at the bottom of the throat to secure the device.
