African Mens' Hats

In this post I will be talking about hats from Africa. The horned headdress is worn by male hunters and warriors of the Somba of Northern Ghana. High ranking leaders in Kuba in the Democratic Republic of Congo wear ornate hats covered with glass beads and cowry shells in important ceremonies. The adult Bamileke men of Cameroon wear a red cotton hat which has many projecting cylindrical burls, reinforced with wood to give a three-dimensional effect.
