Item Description
Made in Cameroon, a Juju hat "is made by the Tribal Bamileke women of Cameroon. It is worn by royalty and important dignitaries of the Bamileke people for generations. It takes two women about 4 days to weave the hat and fully complete it. The current hat was modified in design to be used as decoration for the wall or ceiling, mounted with a loop underfoot to be used for hanging.
Over time, juju hats became more than just a ceremonial accessory. They began to symbolize prosperity, wealth, and social status within the Bamiléké community. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of the hats represented the abundance of nature and the spiritual connection between humans and the divine.Sep 2, 2023
