Background on Tikar Thrones
These thrones are made by the Tikar people of Cameroon, and traditionally they were reserved for royalty, specifically chiefs or kings as a symbol of power, wealth, and divine authority.
The figures that support and adorn the throne typically represent ancestors, warriors, or subjects, emphasizing the chief’s role as both a protector and a link to the spirit world. The use of bronzed and the lost-wax method speaks to a long-standing metalworking tradition that blends artistic finesse with cultural significance.
These pieces are becoming increasingly rare and sought after, especially in this kind of complete condition with the accompanying stool. Similar examples have been exhibited in galleries and museums dedicated to African tribal art and are prized by collectors for their cultural richness and visual impact.
