Cameroon Shield Round Gold
Cameroon — hand-carved beaded shield
A round shield carved from a single piece of wood, finished with a central cowrie shell surrounded by dense gold beadwork, in the tradition of the Tikar people, who used sacred Baobab wood for shields displayed as a symbol of status and wealth, and carried in wartime as defensive weaponry.
As each is handmade, size and beading vary slightly piece to piece, mounted on a wooden stand.
Origin: Cameroon · Size: approx. 34cm diameter
