BEADED CAMEROON SHIELD

Description
Traditionally used as defensive weapons or decorative objects by Cameroon’s Tikar Tribe, these shields symbolise status and wealth. Hand carved from one piece of wood and lovingly adorned with a combination of beads, cowrie shells and Manilla string, each shield is a unique creation.
