Here is a beautiful "Bamileke" feather headdress also known as a "Juju Hat" , fuchsia , 32" in Diameter , If you have been looking for a juju hat that is really nice , full & fluffy .. look no longer .. I just received the best looking exotic hats I have found in years of importing these feather headdresses , truly beautiful pristine fresh examples...This hat is truly striking ... These hats were originally intended for use in a ceremonial dance costume in the... grassland region of Cameroon ... they have long been collected by people in the west for their rare beauty and vibrant colors ..The center of production of the hats is the small town of Baffosam and surrounding villages ..extended families have worked together for generations , weaving the raffia , tying feathers to the wood sticks to create these amazing geometric works of art , today it has become a cottage industry . Many small colorful shops line the street of the central market where you can visually inspect and purchase hats and masks.. It is amazing to see the growing prosperity that is connected to the increasing popularity of these hats ..I first became interested in the Bamileke on a 2004 trip to Cameroon & West Africa and began selling these Headdresses in 2005 and have sold them on ebay every other year since then , I think some of the headdresses are top examples in this shipment and arrived in pristine condition .. I am now offering these premium quality hats in four sizes 34" , 32", 30", 25", 20" " (inquire if not listed ). These various sizes allow you to find the size that suits the space you have or you can combine one or more to create the wanted effect in contemporary home decor . (Shipping) - packing the hats for transport is key ..I have worked out a simple method to isolate the hat so the feathers are not damaged in transport .. All hats are wall hanging ready... Courtesy to the design trade.. International shipping is not free , but is possible at the going postal rates .. .thanks for looking !
