West African Hunter’s Jacket With Islamic Amulets
This elegant hunter’s tunic is from the Burkina Faso or northern Ghana. It was originally acquired in the early 90’s. The region was historically rich in game. Hunting was both culturally and economically important to the region’s inhabitants. Even today many of the traditional ceremonies employ regalia that reference ritual hunting. For purposes of personal protection and good fortune Islamicized amulets were sewn to the front and back of the tunic. This lovely tunic is in excellent condition for its age. 27″ x 20″.
