Description: This great shield features an elegant painted Islamic design motif around its central boss. Another appealing feature is the careful native repair technique that was used to fix a horizontal crack near the rim. It is very detailed and textural. The exterior on the rim is surrounded by a split piece of bamboo secured with small wooden pegs. This element help to reinforced and protect the edge from damage. The backside has the classic relief-carved passthrough arm handle which has acquired a notable use patina. There are some old numbers in pencil on the back side.
