Juju Hats

i talk about them all the time - so might as well dedicate a post to my beloved

(this last pic is exactly what i want in my living room - but 2 clusters of these, with the 3 different sizes, 1 cluster for each wall - donations to my living room juju fund, anyone?! worth a try)

Juju hats - actually called 'tyns' - are headdresses worn for celebrations in the Cameroon volcanic forest in Africa - head dancers, chiefs, and dignitaries alike would wear these colorful hats as a sign of high importance - the feathers are utilized as rare objects of beauty, as a symbol of prosperity and for the wealth of positive qualities associated with birds

these juju hats have been the 'it' feature to adorn walls for the past 2 years at least - they retail for $250-$650 USD depending on size - so they are an investment to say the least - but a darn good one if you ask me - if anyone wants to know what to buy me for a 'gift' - 1 of these bad boys would really make my day - all i need is about 18-20 'gifts' and i can have my living room master piece finished *sigh*

can buy here and here and here and for best selection here and here

JUJU FAN?!
