short description
This traditional leaf essential is an outstanding indication of nature-connectedness and its resourceful use of whatever materials are available to them and represents the Gadaba tribe. These people from the hills of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have historically used flora from their immediate surroundings for both practical and ceremonial purposes. Round with a conical projection at the top center of the dome, the hat is crafted entirely of woven leaves. The leaves are stitched together with their stems, a technique that gives the hat stability and flexibility. The conical projection is said to be designed to shield sun rays from the face of the wearer while engaged in agricultural or other outdoor labor.
