| Content and context |
40 x 76 mm. Another pattern of hat crown. Crowns were originally somewhat like a Persian cap or Fez - almost the blood-brother of the red velvet cap of maintenance of the English Kings. Caps of special shape, Fez-like or like that of a Chef are today still the sign of Royalty among the Pagan Tribes of the Bamenda Division. The cloth caps with cloth 'spikes' may be an imitation of the radiated or rayed crowns of ancient Egypt. |
