Juju Feather Hat Partidge - 50cm

Juju hats or Tyn hats, were worn by royal dancers during Bamileke tribal ceremonies and are created from natural or dyed chicken and wild bird feathers. The feathers are woven into the supportive rafia base and can be closed up into a bundle for storage. The rafia works as as protection for the feathers. Once you receive your Juju hat, you pull the strings and it opens up to a large, beautiful art piece.
