Description from the seller

Description provided by the seller.
Round wooden shield, carved in Cameroon, one-of-a-kind piece. Handmade craftsmanship. It can be easily integrated into any interior, adding a visual focal point. Traditionally, shields were used in Cameroon by young people during initiation ceremonies as warriors. They are objects with symbols of personal and tribal identification, featuring a black and white shield. Wall decoration element to hang on the wall or place with a suspension device required. Stunning wall decor, to be displayed alone or with multiple pieces of different sizes. All our creations are handmade, each element is unique, and none will ever be identical. Any imperfections should be celebrated as a tribute to the work of our talented artisans. We believe this adds to their beauty and charm.
