The origins of the headdress were unclear. The [[Azmec Corporation]] claimed it was created by the native race of [[Tarron (planet)|Tarron]], a race extinct long before the colonists arrived. When the [[First Doctor]] revealed that the Azmec account of the past was a lie, this story was thrown into doubt. The Tarronians rejected their history entirely, and asked the Doctor to dispose of the headdress along with other artifacts claimed by Azmec to be historically significant. The Doctor dropped the items out of the [[TARDIS]] while in the Time Vortex. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tarnished Image (short story)|Tarnished Image]]'')
