African Dreaming

If you have read one of my earlier posts this room will look familiar. Its my favourite room in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. And in order to one day recreate it I have on my list a Zulu Headdress thingy. Like the one on the wall in this photo. Absolutely stunning as a piece of art. I'm not sure how easily I am going to get my hot little sweaty excited hands on one. Emmy wanted to bring one back when she was in Africa a couple of years ago but was made aware there may be a few custom issues......
Anyone know of anyone selling them online? (preferably legally!)
According to a website I came across called "African Home" this magnificent masterpiece is worn by Royal dancers in Cameroon during ceremonies to celebrate the prestige of the kingdom. I think I would celebrate every day if I had one of these on my walls!

That room is gorgeous, no wonder you want it! I love how the African headdress has been used as Art, what a great idea!

Ah, I think I even have a photo of the one I was going to buy - it was jet black and just divine ... darn customs! And they took my impala jerkey (dried animal flesh yum!) too ... I was assured it would get through! The lies ...
