Juju Hats: Feathered Wall Art Rooted in Cameroonian Tradition

June 16, 2025

Elegant, sculptural, and full of texture, Juju Hats (also known as Tyn Hats) have become one of the most striking elements in modern boho and contemporary interiors. Originally worn by royal dancers in the Bamileke tribe of Cameroon during ceremonies, these feathered headdresses symbolised wealth, status, and spiritual connection. Today, they are globally admired as wall art that blends craftsmanship, culture, and visual impact.

Each Juju Hat is handcrafted from natural or dyed bird feathers and stitched onto a raffia or fibre backing that expands into a dramatic circular display. No two are ever alike. From soft neutrals to bold reds, they are available in multiple sizes, making them versatile as solo statement pieces or styled in clusters. Beyond aesthetics, they carry the story of celebration and identity in African culture.

At Meekono, we offer ethically made Juju Hats sourced directly from skilled Cameroonian artisans. Perfect for boutiques, concept stores, and hospitality spaces, these pieces speak to buyers who value heritage-driven, handmade décor.
