Description

Songye shields tell the conflictual history of these people, who inhabit the central-eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Once a vital part of the warrior’s garb, Songye shields are still hand-carved from a solid piece of timber and typically feature violently zig-zagging grooves and white patina.
