Why do the magic men wear wicker wastebaskets on their heads?

The sedge hat is an actual part of asian cultures. It was designed to provide good protection from both the sun and rain fall. The hats in the film are basically these hats just even larger. As to why those characters wear them... maybe there is a mythological reason, I dunno.
