As far as Tausug shields go, that is not a bad price, though I do not like the clean look of the wood. Maybe its the pic, but where is the patina. Shields tend to fall into that "Ethnographic Art" aka "Tribal Art" category, and somehow are more PC to collect than bladed weaponry for those with the $$$ to spend. Ive been surprised by some of the prices modern shields have been getting.
