Thanks David. Here are pics of two more hats in the same form as that sculpted on the adze and axe figure. The first Cameroon the second Zulu/South African. Clearly this basic shape is common to many parts of Africa. This makes the statements in the book all the more astonishing. It just illustrates how easy conjecture even from very recent publications by reputable sources are often seemingly a little short on research. Thier gravitas somewhat compounding the opinion.
