Beaded Bamun Shield 03 They preserve a number ofThese shields are hand carved from one piece of indigenous wood and hand finished with beads, cowrie shells and Manilla string. Their design was inspired by the defensive shields once used by the hunters and warriors of the Tikar tribe of Cameroon, but they are now designed as ritual objects to symbolise status and wealth. They work perfectly as a decorative piece for any space. As they are handmade, each shield may vary slightly. Stand is included.
