Cameroon Shield Round White with shells Inclusive from local river reeds traditionallyCameroon hand carved beaded shield A round shield carved from a single piece of wood, finished with a central cluster of cowrie shells surrounded by dense white 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
