Me neither.

PS I think it is a very rare version of Aceh shield. Never have seen any of these in a private collection, and it has a higher outer rim as the normal brass shields.

Look at the image of the Colonial Institute Amsterdam. You can see similar peurises with higher rim hanging on the wall..
