Orupero (Cloak)
Worn by OvaHimba women (omukazendu). This example was made in 2020 by Ms Kajoo Muharukua. The leather was made from a cow’s hide. Ochre was then applied to change the colour and traditional butter rubbed in to keep the skin soft. Decorative metalwork was added (Collection of the Museum of Namibian Fashion).
