The Herero people who live in Southern Africa have a very unusual wedding headwear used by the local brides. This ethnic group are cattlemen, so they are rather attached to their herds of cows because it’s practically the only means for them to survive. Herero people even have several wedding rituals related with cattle. The traditional Herero bridal headdress called “otjikalva” reminds us of cow horns. It has a specific shape. And it is still used by Herero brides today.
