I have attached some photographs of a wooden shield that I would appreciate help in identifying. I am told its from the Philippines but would like to know for sure. If anyone can comment on age, style, purpose, design, or origins that would be helpful.
Thank you.

Agree with Royston, a Bagobo shield.

Here some threads with similar ones.

Yours would deserve a good restoration IMHO.
