Product Description

Traditionally these shields were used as defensive weapons and also as decorative or ritual objects, which in Cameroon symbolise status and wealth.

The shields are adorned with a combination of beads, cowrie shells and manilla string.

No matter what your design preference is these artisanal pieces are without a doubt conversation points in any space.
