Default Nice Old Sudanese/Somali Shield For Comment
Hi Tim,Freddy,Flavio and All

This just arrived today! An old African shield Sudanese or Somali? It measures about 14" across and has a lovely patina. The shield is in almost mint condition and is quite heavy for it's size. It seems to be made of hippo hide? Here are some shots mixed in with some period daggers and a sword. Let me know what you think?
