Art work & illustration for a chicken restaurant in the Black Forrest.
The idea was to display something really typical about the Black Forrest in combination with a chicken. So we gave the chicken a Bollenhut.
A Bollenhut is a formal headdress with distinctive woolen pompoms worn since c.1750 by Protestant women as part of their folk costume or Tracht in the three adjoining Black Forest villages of Gutach, Kirnbach and Hornberg-Reichenbach. The picturesque-looking red Bollenhut has become a symbol of the Black Forest as a whole, despite its rather local origins.
