Undecorated dayak shields

Although Hair shields and decorated shields are wanted amongst collectors, I always have a good feeling about plane shields.

I only have one, but wouldn't it be nice to have a small row like on some old pics :) ;)

Any examples amongst us forumites ?

Good thread Asomotif,

I have one, it can be seen hiding in the background in this photo.

Our house is still not sorted out after the flood in december so we are still living in a mess. Believe it or not, this is the spare bedroom !

When I get back home I will dig it out and take some decent photos.

Amazing, how they are almost identical.

Yours is in really good condition, all rattan still there. Nice one.
