The\nshape of the ‘Masai’ lamps recalls the \u2018Elongo\u2019, the hunting tool of the\nancient peoples of Kenya, an object of almost magical value.<\/em>
\n
\nThe ‘Elongo’ shield was the Masai warrior’s most important tool in hunting and\nwarfare, an object of African manufacture with characteristics of both\nutilitarian and artistic craftsmanship<\/strong>. The same characteristics that the\nlamps in Icone’s ‘Masai’ family have: the functional one, for indirect ambient\nlighting, and the decorative one, with its particular shape, inspired precisely\nby African shields, typical of all the declinations of the collection, and its\nmetal finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shields not only offered physical\nprotection to the warriors, but also protection of a symbolic and almost\nmagical nature that came from being blessed objects by the spiritual leader.
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each warrior made his shield personally and a different design was used for each one to differentiate the various Masai<\/a> sub-communities, age groups and sometimes even a complex system of lineage identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the Icone lamps, shields were objects of prestige and\ndistinctive symbols of identification<\/strong>. Like the artifacts they are inspired\nby, Maasai family lamps are precious objects, which alone characterize a room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
