Bamileke shield Mala

The Bamileke shield Mala in black and white showcases traditional Cameroonian artistry with bold elegance. Skilled artisans carve it from kola wood and coat it with natural white kaolin clay. Once used in rituals and as protective emblems, these sculpted shields now serve as powerful decorative pieces, adding cultural depth and visual harmony to contemporary interiors.

Spirit of the Bamileke shield Mala

The interplay of black and white symbolizes the dual forces of the visible and the invisible, the spiritual and the earthly. Hand-carved linear patterns introduce a hypnotic rhythm that captivates the eye and turns the shield into a bold, elegant, and timeless visual centerpiece.
