Bamileke Horn (N° 25460)

Among the Bamiléké as in other ethnic groups, objects of African art testified to the place of their owner in society. The materials and shapes of objects varied according to social status. This palm wine cup was used by notables to conclude agreements during ritual ceremonies.
Located in the border region of Nigeria, the North-West province of Cameroon, Grassland is made up of several ethnic groups: Tikar, Anyang, Widekum, Chamba, Bamoun and Bamileke. Several centralized chiefdoms, or kingdoms, based on customary associations and secret societies, were organized around the Fon, which would have broad powers.
