The cultural artefact was taken from the Kenyah Badeng people of Sarawak, Borneo, during British-led war expeditions in 1895 and 1896.

It was acquired in 1923 by Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, although it has never been displayed.

The museum's director, Prof Dr Laura Van Broekhoven, said she was "pleased the sunhat will be returning home", having been "so violently taken".
