Zulu bridal hat 'Isicholo'

980 €


Zulu bridal hat, made of natural hair and red pigments. The young girls were called ‘Itshishi’. They let their hair grow, cut it of, conserved it and worked the strings of hair around a concave frame of braided twines. Just before the wedding ceremony the completed hat was greased with fat and red ochre by the leder women of the community and was handed by them to the groom. During the festivity he handed over to his new bride the hat, made of her own hair. Early 20th century.
