Original Igbo Cap For Men, Igbo Traditional Red Cap, Chieftaincy - Wool Felt Red
This Authentic Igbo 'red cap' is worn by chiefs in Igboland and symbolizes authority, tradition, and culture; it also represents the entire institution of leadership, authority, and power in Igbo culture.

The caps are spiritually symbolic, called 'okpu mme,' translated as 'blood red cap' and also known as okpu Ozo / Nze.

Red is associated with fire and is the essence of Agbala, a powerful deity with a feminine name of which Ozo na Nze are known as Agbala Nze, prosperous spouses of Nze.

When one has conferred a chieftaincy title in Igboland, it is proper that he must wear the red cap when making appearances in formal traditional events or ceremonies or when he plays a conventional formal role in his family, clan, or community.
