Bamileke Batcham Chair Headdress Mask Cameroon Africa

Description

his dominant, regal seat is a design said to come from the region of Batcham in Cameroon.   The features are notably Bamileke: flared nostrils and a broad toothy smile in the face. Symbols are carved into the seat of the chair, and the features of the face are remarkably detailed.   This remarkable carving would be a proud addition to any collection of ethnic art.
