Evans-Pritchard notes that 'In sketches by early travellers Azande men are shown wearing straw hats.
Schweinfurth describes them as 'a cylindrical hat without any brim, square at the top and always ornamented with a waving plume of feathers...'.
The same kind of cylindrical, brimless, straw hat was still worn in 1906 ...
[t]his is the old Mbomu hat, called kutuku, and some of the older men still keep to a version of it.' See also [1998.341.58] [Chris Morton 10/10/2003].
