Moro Shield

Here is a recent child's shield. I'll keep it on a wall until baby is big enough to hold it.

Very nice and meaningful find. Your daughter will be able to break more than boys' hearts when she gets older

The bidder who won the shield that started this thread is a prominent tribal art dealer and should have no trouble selling it for $3,000-$4,000 or more in the art market. Tom is right that there are relatively few good, old examples of these out there.

Besides being throughly depressed over the market value of some of the PI stuff

, have any of you noticed that if some one does not know what it is, it gets slapped with the label of "African"?

By the way, Spunger, don't feel bad, I look like a dweeb all of the time

(that's why I haven't won anything on eBay for the last 5 years!

)....I'm going to go sulk now, excuse me.

Fitting for a warrior princess, my little dayang dayang will naturally grow up around the combative arts and Tausug Silat...I have a small barung to go with the shield.
