Vintage Maasai Shields ?
I picked these up a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure (but not positive), that they are vintage Maasai shields. One has traces of decorated pigment on it, and both are constructed in the Maasai fashion. I was wondering how old these shields are and if the undecorated shield could have been constructed by a neighboring tribe, other than the Maasai using similar techniques?
