Combat shield
As an unusual variation of the shield decoration, two symmetrically arranged representations of pectoral ornaments can be seen here. The multi-coloured rattan braid is limited on the front side to the middle and the upper and lower ends of the shield. In contrast, the entire back is covered with a patterned wickerwork of rattan, leaving only the handle free. Remains of a feather decoration are also preserved on this shield. Text: Ulrich Menter
