African Tikar shield

The Tikar shield has been traditionally used as a defensive weapon, displayed as a decorative or ritual symbol of status and wealth by the Tikar tribe in Cameroon. Hand-carved from one solid piece of wood, the bold colouring and geometric patterning of this Cameroonian wooden shield makes it a distinctive piece of wall art. This shield can either be displayed on its own, paired with another or even as a centre piece of a montage. Perfect for the office or lounge.
