Shield
This shield, made of three wooden planks, shows four pairs of concentric circles separated by serrated lines on the front. Another variation of shield decoration among the Arawe consists of a total of 8 pairs of circle motifs arranged one below the other. The reverse side shows more individual patterns, which have their counterparts in the decoration of the barkcloth used as clothing. Text: Ulrich Menter
