About this piece
From a distance it looks like fur. Up close, it is far more deliberate.
This ceremonial tunic is from Oku Village in Cameroon, 20th century, in woven cloth with hair. Oku is one of the kingdoms of the Cameroon Grassfields, a region known for its prestige textiles and regalia. Dark tufts cover the pale cloth in dense rows, thinning across the shoulder and one side to reveal the ground beneath. Strips appear sewn together along vertical seams, and a simple slit forms the neck. Thirty-eight inches wide and 42 long.
You would not need a second layer.
