Unlike all other Juju Hats on the market, this piece is made from 100% Genuine Ostrich Feathers and is hand made in South Africa. This piece is known as a Juju Hat in its place of origin, Cameroon. The Bamileke tribe used them as traditional ceremonial headdresses. Today, they adorn homes as contemporary wall hangings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor hundreds of years, the Bamileke tribe have been creating Juju hats for their tribal chiefs, royal families and dignitaries to wear during tribal ceremonies. The hats are significant when an elder dies as it is passed down to the next in line who may inherit the wealth and standing of the person that has died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern interior designers decorate walls with juju hats to create a focal point and conversation starter for your home. Juju hats are ideal to hang on the wall over your bed, mantle piece, sofa, flat screen TV or simply an empty space on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuju Hats take 2-3 days to make by hand, are made during the dry months of the year so the grass and feathers can dry before weaving. The grassy cloth base of the hats are delicately woven to create a strong backing for the wood slats which run up the sides creating a large circular platform for all the cured and dyed feathers which are then fitted one at a time to create the beautiful textured Juju Hats which are so appealing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique piece was hand made in South Africa. No factories or machinery was involved in the production process, only artisans and hand tools with painstaking detail and precision. This piece is made out of natural materials and is free from any fillers, dyes, stains, or varnishes. There is ONLY ONE piece in existence--truly one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome more information about York's Shona Gallery:\u003cbr\u003e• We are based in New York City and opened NYC's first African art gallery in 1985\u003cbr\u003e• Family and Minority Owned \u0026amp; Operated \u003cbr\u003e• Each Purchase Supports Tribes in Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt York’s Shona Gallery, we always put our clients first.

The crocodile is regarded as a sacred animal in parts of Africa. It represents protection and is seen as a spiritual being that wards off evil. In Gambia, for example, the crocodile is stamped on the country’s currency, and a sacred crocodile pool called Kachikaly serves as a prayer-ground for visitors.\u003cbr\u003e“Crocodile” was handmade in Kenya in 1988, and one of the few ebony pieces we have in stock. This is because the tradition of carving ebony wood in Kenya is becoming increasingly rare. Ebony carving skills are typically passed from one generation to the next; and Kenyans are increasingly spending their time away from artisan crafts and working in industries such as tourism. Additionally, sourcing ebony wood is almost impossible because of its rarity. We are proud to be one the very few galleries in the United States with pieces made of pure ebony touched by the masters of ebony, the Kenyan peoples. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEbony Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEbony wood is one of the most valuable, rare, and expensive types of wood in the world; prized for its dark core.

Chakanyuka was born in Zimbabwe and is a member of the current generation of Shona stone sculptors. Still one of the few women artists currently sculpting in Zimbabwe, her natural artistic sensibilities, courage, and tenacity have allowed her to add her female voice alongside that of the better-known male sculptors.\u003cbr\u003e\"Hippo\" is one of our best sellers and perfect for gifting. No factories or machinery were involved in the production process, only Chakanyuka and her hand tools with painstaking detail and precision. Each piece is made of natural serpentine stone and is free from any dyes, stains, or varnishes. Each piece also comes from a different cut of the stone and therefore has unique color variations.\u003cbr\u003eIt comes in two size variations: Large and Small. Each variation differs in size and price. Choose the size of your choice and proceed to check out. We ship within 6 hours of your order (Monday-Saturday.) Should you wish to purchase multiple pieces, we are happy to accommodate your order. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/api.cappasity.com\/api\/player\/4498b98e-d8f4-405f-aa9f-909f4ba07c7a\/embedded?autorun=0\u0026amp;closebutton=1\u0026amp;logo=1\u0026amp;autorotate=0\u0026amp;autorotatetime=10\u0026amp;autorotatedelay=2\u0026amp;autorotatedir=1\u0026amp;hidefullscreen=1\u0026amp;hideautorotateopt=1\u0026amp;hidesettingsbtn=0\u0026amp;enableimagezoom=1\u0026amp;zoomquality=1\u0026amp;hidezoomopt=0\" style=\"border: 0;\" height=\"600px\" width=\"100%\" onmousewheel=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Shona?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The best of Zimbabwe stone sculpture combines the splendor and solidity of the stone medium with imagery drawn from reality and abstracted into symbolic form.
