Kirdi Leather Shield on Custom Wall Mount

About the Item

A wonderfully sculptural Kirdi leather shield from Cameroon, with a beautiful geometric pattern that's been 'stamped' into the leather resulting a raised surface on the face of the shield. We've had a custom steel mount made so that the piece can hang on a wall.
