装饰铃 - Bamileke Kwifoyn 双重仪式铃铛和锣 - Cameroon

Bamileke Kwifoyn Double Ritual Bell Gong, Cameroon This forged double bell corresponds to the Bamileke Kwifoyn tradition from the Cameroon Grassfields, where double gongs served as sacred instruments and prestige emblems within male societies closely connected to the royal palace. Struck with wooden beaters, the hollow metal tone functioned as a ceremonial signal, marking the opening of rituals and reinforcing authority during public events. The arched handle is wrapped in tightly braided basketry fiber, creating a durable grip and a clear structural link between handle and bells. Manufacturer and origin Bamileke people, Grassfields region, Cameroon Period Mid-20th century, 1940s Style / use Ritual double bell gong associated with male society ceremony and status display  Condition Complete and stable. Iron shows thick, crusty patina with oxidation and surface pitting from use. Basketry wrapping shows abrasion and age-related wear, remaining firmly bound. Consistent with an old ceremonial object. Basis for value Collectability is supported by the documented Kwifoyn attribution, the forged dual-bell construction, and the preserved original basketry handle. The strong utilitarian geometry and heavy patinated surface align with older ceremonial metalwork from the Grassfields, where metallurgy carries social and symbolic weight. Context of production In the Cameroon Grassfields, such gongs were integral to structured ceremonial life, used to announce rites and to accompany the respect due to chiefs.
