Bark cloth hat from Uganda

Bark cloth hat

This hat is handmade in Uganda from bark cloth. The process is a lengthy and labor intensive; but is something that the people of Uganda have been skilled at for hundreds of years.

Long ago, bark cloth was made for the Buganda royal family's attire. The ladies in the cooperative take great pride in continuing the craft today.
