item #825

from: Mali

tribe: Fulani

price: $150.00

This hat is among the finest quality of any hat of this type. It was worn by a man just long enough to have become well aged but not so much as to have destroyed the beauty of it, thus confirming its authenticity. The straw weave is tighter than the more commercial version, available elsewhere on this page, and feathers have been added. 18 1/2" diameter (47 cm)
