Kiala African Walking Stick

Originaire du Congo, la canne africaine Kiala est sculptée dans un bois brun aux reflets ambrés. Sa poignée ajourée surmonte deux têtes d’oiseaux tournées en sens opposés. Leurs becs recourbés et le détail du plumage se détachent dans le relief du bois.

Key features

• Origin — Congo.
• Material — Carved wood with warm brown and amber tones.
• Handle — Openwork handle with two carved birds’ heads.
• Carved details — Twisted carving, standing figure and a tapered, fluted motif.

Why choose Kiala?

A twist leads from the handle to a figure carved in profile. Below it, a deeply fluted motif tapers into the smooth shaft. The contrast between the carved relief and the clean lines of the wood gives Kiala its slender silhouette.

Styling and inspiration

Displayed on a stand, Kiala draws the eye to its carved details. In a collection of African art, its amber tones pair naturally with raffia, ceramics and darker woods.
