Shaman Eats Straw

This hat or more accurately headdress, came from a theatre production


It makes an ideal headdress for tribal shaman or witch doctor.


The only clue to its origin is a label which says 'Tumji' which make it sound like it was for a African based character.

Made of a mix of leather, artificial plant life and straw.


The jackal/fox eyes are painted.


This headress found its way to me via my favourite trader Chows Emporium.


I went past it at several markets before, eventually deciding it had a use.
