Oh yes, Detlef! This unique shield is a real treasure!

Just got this larger type of peurise awe, which I think is indicating it is probably a Gayo shield.
It has a diameter of 600 mm.

Hi Maurice,

It has a similar diameter like my tamua shield from Sumba!
Great shield you have there!

Hi Detlef,

What a wonderful Sumba shield

Looks like it has a lovely patina also...

Thanks Maurice! Yes, the leather shows a good old patination. Got it years ago by a trade with Arjan.
