Waiting for arrival. Mine is the red and white painted shield. Shown with other examples with the same regional cultural methods of carrying. The timber used appears to be a much softer wood than the Southern Highlands shield seen in other threads. The shields with a white background are from "Shields kunst aus neuguinea, Johann Feilacher, Chris boylan, museum gugging". The other is from "Shields of Melanesia, Hawaii university press 2005".
