Bamileke Shield - Arrow

Description

The Bamiléké stool in light wood with spider motif is a magnificent example of the craftsmanship of the Bamiléké peoples of Cameroon. These stools are not simply pieces of furniture; they are imbued with profound cultural and spiritual meanings. Traditionally, they are used by chiefs and dignitaries, symbolizing their status and their link with ancestors and spirits. The spider motif, often associated with wisdom and protection in Bamiléké mythology, is finely carved into the wood, highlighting the skill and precision of the craftsmen.

Design and Sustainability

The stool's design combines traditional aesthetics with durability. The light-colored wood used in its manufacture is chosen for its sturdiness and beautiful hue, which improves with age. The circular base and top plate are supported by a central cylinder adorned with openwork spider motifs, a design that not only allows good air circulation but also lends visual lightness to the object.

Contemporary use and versatility

Although rooted in tradition, the Bamiléké stool has a place in contemporary interiors thanks to its timeless design. It can be used as an occasional seat, a coffee table or even as a decorative element. Its sleek silhouette and intricate pattern draw the eye and invite contemplation, while blending harmoniously with a variety of decorating styles.
