The Axe : looks very good.
An agricultural tool btw. not a weapon. And for that reason quite rare in collections.
The shield....
The general shape looks fine, like an original shield suitable for warfare.
The handle, looks too big/thick, unusual shape. Can you make a close up ?
The skull and tusks look like a Naga feauture. strange because these cultures are not in contact. not a dayak decoration imho.
The colour/patina of the shield looks too brown / too dark / too wax like.
Any information on when this was collected ?
Best regards,
Willem
