A Nigerian elder wearing a dashiki and kufi cap empties a cement bag into a gulley by the roadside
A kufi or kufi cap is a brimless, short, rounded cap. By custom it is most often worn by African people and/or the African diaspora. In West Africa, a kufi cap is the traditional hat for men, and is part of the national costume of most of the countries in the region. It is worn by Christians, Muslims, African Jews, and followers of African traditional religion. Many grandfathers and other older men wear a kufi everyday to symbolize their status as wise elders, religious people, or family patriarchs
