Cameroon: Tribal used African Rare Tikar Monkey Figure , symbol of wisdom.
Height: 40 cm.
The grassland region in Southwest Cameroon is one of the most artistically rich areas of Africa.Only 250,000 Tikar people
Taxatiewaarde: 250 - 300 euro.
Quite different from these Tikar are many groups in the northwestern part of the country, in the Northwest Region near the Nigerian border whose royal families trace links to the Tikar royal family. Examples are the Nso' and the Wimbum from the North West as well as the Bamoun (from West Region) whose languages are different from Tikar. Although it is common to see statements such as the "Nso' are Tikar" or the Wimbum came from Tikari, that really should not be taken to be a statement about the culture, languages etc. of most of the people of that ethnicity.
