African Mokorotlo Hat
This rare conical grass hat, known as mokorotlo, is considered part of the national dress of Lesotho, a landlocked country surrounded by the Republic of South Africa. The design first appeared at the end of the 1930s, and its growing prominence was closely associated with the development of national identity. In the early 1900s a forerunner of this hat was worn by tribal chiefs, who chanted a combat song known as 'mokorotlo' while making their way to the chiefs' court. It is from this early connection that the hat became known as mokorotlo.
In very good vintage condition. A unique hat that would look super as a decorative piece and a great item for vintage hat collectors.
Dimensions: 33cm diameter x 25cm height
