Four interesting Atjeh Peurises!

Congrats, Maurice, these are beautiful!

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?

Possibly the fabric got treated - here are more pics:

Thanks Kai,

It could be the fabric got treated, but there are also some lighter stains visible. It could be that it was much lighter before, but got darken because of dirt/dust?
Maybe a member of the forum knows more about the treatings of the cloth?
