ZULU, MARRIED WOMAN’S HEADDRESS, MSINGA, MID TO LATE 20TH CENTURY Hair, cotton, tinsel decoration, red ochre, string 47cm diameter Viewed from the top the headdress reads as a large, flat red disk. The hat isicholo, originally made from the cut hair of the bride to be, is stitched onto a frame of woven grass and was attached to the hair of the bride in a ceremony known as ukuthunga isicholo. Colored red with ochre and fat, demarcating the status and identity of the wearer as a married Zulu woman, this headdress was only cut off and redone occasionally, and necessitated the use of a headrest.
