The scepter has long been a symbol of authority and sovereignty. It represents the divine right of rule, as well as the power of earthly rulers. Examples include the staff of the elderly, the wand of a messenger, and the crook of a shepherd, among others.
For many African peoples, carrying weapons has become a necessity. Weapons used for hunting, offense, and defense have existed since ancient times, and in some cases, evolved into symbols of identity and kingship. Over time, they were no longer viewed solely as weapons but became ceremonial objects used in ritualistic settings as tokens of authority.
Many cultures have used the scepter as a symbol of power and authority, and in its form, it can also take the shape of court instruments, walking sticks, daggers, axes, and more.
In terms of aesthetic design, the scepter can depict figures, nobility, prophetic birds, guardian beasts, animals, leopards, gestures, abstract forms, fables, and weaponry, among others.
All of these creations reflect the unique beauty and rich imaginative creativity of African tribal art.
