Beautiful Maurice :-)

Antique shields from most cultures are beautiful and rare items.
I do like the variety to have obtained greatly. My study of the weapons I bought from Kelling Hall have certainly created a personal interest in Sumatran items and I am enjoying viewing these pieces.
As noted, cloth of these shields is very rarely seen these days but looking at the darker shield, it does not look like cloth...what covers it?
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more discussion on these items.
