persian brass bronze shield
Hello everybody,
I just won this auction in an Auction house for a few money: I find it really nice, they sold it as an old bronze persian shield ... nothing more a friend of mine told me it can be old (19th )but cast and not hammered so probably made for tourists . It's heavy: 1,2kg ( 2.6 pounds) for 30cm (11.8 inches ) diameter , 0,35cm thick, we can see old repairs. I don't think touristic stuff would be so thick Have you an idea about age, exact origin ?... Thank you |

Not Persian, but Sumatran. Search the forum for "Peurise".
It's a nice one, certainly not made for tourists (in my opinion). Cheers - Russel |
