Shield
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
