One of the most coveted African masks! The Fang Noir Blanc Fon mask, a precious wood carving, will add a graphic and original touch to your interior decoration. Made using the burned wood technique, this mask is coated with kaolin to create an original graphic effect. In Bamiléké culture, the title of "Fo" is attributed to the king.

In customary terms, he is master of the land, justice and religion.

Description

Le bouclier Bamiléké est une pièce maîtresse de l’art de l’Ouest du Cameroun et un trésor de l’artisanat africain. Ces boucliers africains, originaires du Cameroun, sont plus qu’une simple protection. Ils sont une célébration de la culture et de l’art camerounais. Traditionnellement utilisé dans les cérémonies tribales africaines, chaque bouclier traditionnel camerounais est une ?uvre d’art à part entière, sculptée et ornée avec soin, reflétant les motifs Bamiléké distinctifs. Ils constituent une décoration murale ethnique prisée pour leur authenticité et leur capacité à transformer un espace en une galerie d’art vivante.

Ces sculptures Zoulou servent également de rappel des pratiques traditionnelles, où chaque bouclier cérémoniel raconte une histoire, capturant l’esprit et la vitalité du bouclier tribal africain.
