Thanks guys for the translation and interesting additional material.
 That's what I always wanted this thread to be - a channel to more discussion from looking at the "real thing" in photographic records.

Here is another interesting one from around 1870...
These are according my archives men of the Boeton island (South east Celebes), made in Java..... but I can't find the source where I got it unfortunately. |

Thank's for posting this image. This shield is very similar to one shield from my collection which I found on Halmahera but which isn't similar to all Halmahera shields I know.
Regards, Detlef |

Hi Detlef,
That's an interesting shield! "Taste" like Celebes indeed.... It's a bit between the salawaku's and Celebes shields like the one on the image. There were also salawaku's collected in Celebes which are now in museumcollections.... So why don't find a "cross over" shield in Halmahera? ;-) Kind Regards, Maurice |

yes, indeed. Have handled a few Celebes shields, they are different. My guess is that I have maybe a Ternate shield but never have seen one until now. This shield in question seems to very old which was also stated by the previous owner. Best regards, Detlef |
