This type of large metallic shield has been historically used as a defensive weapon in wartime and displayed as a decorative symbol of status and wealth by the Tikar tribe in Cameroon.

This wall decor shield is one-of-a-kind, collaboratively crafted by a large group of tribes people to make each piece truly unique and communal.
