Description from the seller

Beautiful pair of authentic African shields, handwoven from natural materials and with a nicely patinated finish. The distinctive round shape with a central raised area gives these pieces a powerful and decorative look.

These shields originate from West Africa (Togo/Ghana region) and were traditionally used for both protection and ceremonial occasions. Today they form a unique and stylish duo that fits perfectly in a character-rich interior.

The light signs of use and subtle irregularities testify to their authenticity and make each piece unique.

A special set for lovers of ethnographic art, collectors, or as statement decor.
