Every now and then we come upon a piece that is absolutely extraordinary. one that can truely stand out in a world already filled with artistic magnificence. This is a jewel. Our selection is derived from the smaller Bamoun Horn. handcrafted by the Bamoun tibe of west Cameroon, the smaller version is used to help celebrate a secret society twice a year. When it is time for the villagers to gather for the "Meduh" festival, members would signal this by blowing highly ornate horns. Our oversized offering was crafted in honor of this ceremonial object. Standing 6 feet tall, decorated with elaborate carvings from base to tip, adorned with hundreds of hand placed miniature beads, this piece embodies the mastercraftsmanship of African artistry. I try to procure one set of two because when they are positioned on opposite sides facing each other, they create an archway of opulence.
