Bride price (3) - Plant fibre - icholo - zulu - South Africa
A montage of three beautiful Zulu hats. These hats were the man's wedding gift to the woman. The big hat is really very old and comes from the Msingha area on the Tugela River. This type of hat was worn by the woman after the damage. The red colour is a mineral from the mines of Johannesburg. The two small hats were worn by people of lower status. This ensemble of hats will suit any interior and creates a happy, colourful impression. I acquired these hats in Situ around 1974. The three pedestals will be included. Dimensions: the largest: 415 x 415 x 100 mm The small one with white: 260 x 260 x 70 mm The small red one: 240 x 240 x 80 mm
