African Hunting Jacket on Stand

This is a naturally dyed hemp jacket that would have been worn by a hunter in the Bamana tribe in West Africa during ceremony and usually during the hunt. Adorned with numerous small mirrors and leather talismanic packets—often containing esoteric substances or religious verses —such garments were believed to provide both spiritual protection and physical success in the hunt or in combat. c. mid 20th century. 

Hangs from a custom made iron stand that can break down for easy transport/shipping.
