Bamileke Tribe Royal Door – The Bamileke Royal Door is a notable cultural artifact from the Bamileke people of Cameroon, specifically from the Western Grasslands region. These doors are not merely functional but are highly symbolic and significant in conveying the power, prestige, and status of the royal family or the sacred space they protect. They serve as the entrance to the royal palace or important shrines within the Bamileke community.

 

About the Tribe

The Bamileke people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Cameroon, primarily residing in the west and northwestern grasslands regions of the country. The Bamileke people are believed to have migrated from Egypt between the 11th and 14th centuries. They are composed of several subgroups, each with its own distinct customs and traditions and they speak several dialects of the grassfields language family that are all closely related. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, intricate social organization, and economic activities.
