Ethnicity: Mambila. Country: Cameroon. It represents a mystical animal protector of the tribe, a mixture of a dog and a raven. In addition to being essential for hunting in the forest, the Mambila considered the dog an animal that has the power to drive away everything bad and strange around the town. As for the raven, taboo of the Mambila, it is a bird well known for its abilities. The iconography shows in the foreground a dog in an aggressive attitude with bristling hair and in the rear some schematic wings of the raven unfolded to promote the attack. With export license and certificate of authenticity issued by the Ministry of Arts and Culture of Cameroon.
