Stunning ‘limited edition’ beaded shield

Adorned with white natural glass beads and cowrie shells, these shields are a symbol of wealth and status and a traditional pride. These shields are very rare, unique piece.

Traditionally used as defensive weapons, and showcased in cultural rituals, these shields became compelling objects of décor with a unique aesthetic sense. Featured in interior magazines and matches so beautifully with modern interiors.

It is hard to catch the beauty of this shield on the pictures. It is a unique collectors item. The total height is 44 cm. The diameter of the shield is 30 cm diameter. The wooden stand is 15x15 cm and is included. This makes it a nice decor item.
