Does anyone know what the hawaiian god Lono's head-dress is made out of?

I was thinking maybe some kind of leaves, but I don't know.

Lono, the god of peace, agriculture, and fertility, had a headdress made of taro leaves, probably most representing agriculture. Taro was the major Hawaiian carbohydrate.

No but I found this
LONO: Represents the Conscious Mind. Has a tall headdress
(meaning the Conscious Mind has a lofty creative imagination) but there are no eyes (meaning that the Conscious Mind no contact with outside world).
