ostrich plume
Flightless bird's feather
An ostrich plume is a large, soft feather from an ostrich, prized for its flowing, decorative quality.
Ostrich plumes were fashionable in hats and headdresses, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: The showgirl's costume featured towering ostrich plumes.
They remain associated with burlesque, carnival costumes, and theatrical elegance.
