No, it's not a winter hat.... Warrior headdress. A "cheap" substitute for lion's mane one. I have seen quite a few lion's mane ANFARRO (mostly in photographs....), but this is the first gelada's mane headdress I have found.

Maasi warriors use real lion's manes, the darker black one are mature lions, lighter gold manes are the more junior lions. Their customs used to be that a man wasn't a man until they went out with their spear and shield and killed a lion. Like an old US Coast Guard saying 'You have to go out. You don't have to come back'. (Photo from 1968, they've essentially stopped killing Lions for these, existing ones sell for big bucks.) Last edited by kronckew; 24th December 2020 at 05:51 PM. |

Let's not forget that the Kilimanjaro is snow-capped.... At any rate, on the Ethiopian Highlands, especially on the Semien Mountain Range, nights are extremely cold. Brrrrrrr….

KUBUR, the "shoulder thing" is a LEMBD in Amharic (Ethiopia) and a DINO' in Tigrynian Tigray and Eritrea). Happy and SAFE 2021 to all.
