Fit for a tribal queen or some sort of fictional sci-fi princess, the Quixotic Divinity Headdress is an intricate creation that has a savage quality to it. Covering the entire head, it is full of spirals and spikes that would enchant as much as it would instil fear in others.
Created by Joshua Harker, an artist based in Chicago, Illinois, the Quixotic Divinity Headdress made its debut on a London, England, catwalk. But it will soon be put on display at the 3D Printshow New York City at the Metropolitan Pavilion in February 2014. It was constructed using 3d printing technology. According to Contemporist, "The piece has nearly 200 hours of design time and was built by EOS using their largest format SLS printer." Interestingly, the front part is detachable.
