Warrior's hat

Country: 
Burma
Nation: 
Kachin
Male

The headgear woven from hard cane is a mandatory accessory of warriors of the Ravang tribe relating to the Kachin people living in the northern provinces of Burma. It is a sort of a hat with a low rounded crown and upturned narrow brims. In the lower part where bending of the brims begins there is a small plate pointing downwards with attached at four sides boar tusks, a symbol of masculinity of the owner. The front of the hat is adorned with the largest tusks, so one headpiece requires 5 boars. Of course, the warrior must kill them with his own hands.
