A West African hunters’ jacket has been put for sale at an outrageous price in the United States of America, Washington, according to a tweet from a man named Kalu Aja.
The jacket which is selling at $4,500 has caused netizens to be astounded while others described it as outrageous.
Netizens have since been marveled after discovering the price of the ‘hunters jacket’, a costume that doesn’t carry much value in Africa.
Many people regard this particular costume as bulletproof or even a spiritual armor that protects hunters in the forest.
However, the jacket appears to have amused many art enthusiasts on social media, who claimed that it should cost more than $4,500 given the protection it offers.
Others, on the other hand, considered the jacket to be just a simple hunting jacket and did not see the need for it to be sold at such an exorbitant price.
