Maybe it's a good idea to post my peurise nilo here. :)

And here my ratan shield.

This rattan shield is magnificent!

Thank you! :) But the real treasure is the peurise nilo, it's a leather shield, the only known one out from a museum, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=Peurise

Can you explain Willem?

Here all my peurise in a group.

Thank you for posting Willem. Nice reference to have next to the shield (for the one who owns it as it isn't me anymore, it left me a long time ago).

Interesting shield Detlef.
I had one too, but the hide was much rougher as yours. I will look if I still find a photo of mine.
How is the hide tightened on the shield?

Hi Maurice,

It's a quite heavy shield with 1884 gram, pure leather, very thick, old and shows holes from bullets or spears, see the pics. Diameter approx. 40 cm. The leather is very hard and polished and cracked on the surface. It was once a real bargain from an auction house in Amsterdam, together with a very nice Dayak paddle. :) Last pic show one of the holes from the back.

WOW!

What a shield. And it had some action too!
It's a beauty.
I only found one photo on my computer of the one that was mine. The photo is quit bad also, but here it is.....

:D:D

Now I understand!

Ah, it's a (rotan) peurise awe, covered with leather instead of fabric.
Thank you! When I bid on it years ago I thought it's a peurise teumaga and painted black. I was surprised when I hold it in my hands. :D

Yes, it is a peurise awe, according Kreemer covered with red or black fabric.
But I guess you can call this one also peurise nilô, because of the hide cover?

Yours look very special!

Oh yes, Detlef! This unique shield is a real treasure!

Just got this larger type of peurise awe, which I think is indicating it is probably a Gayo shield.
It has a diameter of 600 mm.

Hello Maurice,

What a monster peurise awe! :eek: And a beauty on top of everything! :cool:

Detlef

Thank you Detlef.

Here some photos next to a 'normal sized' peurise awe.

Maurice

Hi Maurice,

It has a similar diameter like my tamua shield from Sumba! :eek:
Great shield you have there!

Regards,
Detlef

Hi Detlef,

What a wonderful Sumba shield :eek:

Looks like it has a lovely patina also...

Regards,
Maurice

Thanks Maurice! :) Yes, the leather shows a good old patination. Got it years ago by a trade with Arjan.

Supernice, and very rare!
How does the back of the shield looks like?

Regards,
Maurice

Here you go!

Thank you for showing!
Very nice with the original old handles still there. :cool:

Thanks again Maurice! They are indeed very rare, I haven't seen one for sale for a very long time.

Detlef

This somewhat in front over polished early (I think) peurise teumaga will enter the collection soon.

Post Deleted!

Hi Detlef,

Congratulations!
Pretty rare to find a peurise 'Teumaga' with round knobs and one 'star' in the middle. Though the central knob in the middle looks more like a round knob with a kind of 'gear wheel' around it.
I found a similar with a central star and round knobs placed around, which will be in my collection soon. I'll add photos when it arrived for comparison.

Normally there are 4 (or more) 'brass rings' at the backside for the handle attachment?

Regards,
Maurice

Thanks Maurice,

Curious to see your one! ;) The two ring attachment lets me think first that it isn't a peurise! :D

Best regards,
Detlef

Here it is, just arrived!

Very nice with the original handle and hand protection. What's the diameter?

Regards,
Detlef
