Just picked this leather shield off the well known selling platform. A real bargain, I am surprised it did not sell the first time round. Just needs some oil just to enhance that antique look on the wooden central strut. The great bonus is the bead work which is nice. Quite a large one. Had one before but not as nice. Great to have the two types.

Snatched this contemporary photo of a shield from an adventure tourism photo blog. I like the spear rather cool. Tourists quick hide the AKs.

This new shield makes up for the sword no longer fitting the scabbard. Antelope or goat skin. I believe that these shields were held with the ostrich feather pompom on the spike downwards, though perhaps that can be debated.
