| On the right is a Bamana headdress. |
| A qualitatitative comparison to (three stages of) a fractal tree is obvious. |
| A closer look - measuring the lengths of successive branches and computing their ratios - reveals the scaling is not quantitative. |
| The main branch has length about 1.4. |
| The secondary branches have length about 1.25. |
| The tertiary branches has length about 0.8. |
| So secondary/main = 0.9 |
| and tertiary/secondary = 0.65 |
| Of course, these measurements have some uncertainties, but still, the ratios appear different. |
