Juju Feather Hat - 20" - Black

Handmade by artisans in Cameroon, Juju hats are traditionally worn by village chiefs during celebrations as a symbol of status within their societies. Natural or dyed bird feathers are carefully hand sewn onto a raffia base, which spreads out into a huge circle. Feathers are associated with beauty and are a symbol of prosperity and wealth. These sought after hats are available in various colours, and can be displayed on stands or hung on a wall. Due to the nature of production methods and the use of natural materials, each product may vary slightly in both dimensions and coloring - we believe that these natural variations enhance the authenticity of each item.

If you have purchased a stand (sold separately), the thread loop can be used on the u-shaped metal.
