This striking West African ceremonial shield, or highly decorated disc, showcases a masterful application of beadwork and symbolic cowrie shells. The circular form is completely covered with meticulously arranged small glass beads, creating vibrant concentric bands of blue, orange, black, and multi-colored patterns. At its heart lies a prominent cluster of white cowrie shells, traditionally revered as symbols of wealth, fertility, and protection in many African societies. This piece, with its intricate details and rich cultural motifs, functions more as a prestige item or ritual object rather than a defensive weapon, reflecting the artistic heritage and spiritual significance prevalent in West African traditions. Its aged appearance suggests its historical value as an antique.
