In 1908, King Njoya of Bamum (reign ca. 1887 - 1933) presented this bonnet to Theodor Seitz (*1863 - †1949), the then German governor of Cameroon, as a birthday present for Emperor Wilhem II. Such bonnets, called mpelet in the Bamum language, were only made for kings and other high dignitaries. Only a few are as magnificent as this example, which is richly decorated with precious, coloured glass beads and depicts chameleons, which are considered royal animals.
