The
shield is made of relatively soft wood and has a recessed handle on the
back of the shield boss. The painting shows stylized faces as well as
highly abstract depictions of birds on both sides of the boss. The usual
braiding or wrapping with rattan strips used to reinforce the shield is
now only present in remnants, and the original feather decoration is
also largely damaged. Text: Ulrich Menter

The shield is
part of a donation of objects that Bruno Mencke (1877-1901) acquired
during a research expedition to the colony of German New Guinea in the
years 1900-1901. Text: Ulrich Menter
