another old ( I hope ! ) shield ! Ottoman piece ??
Hello everybody,
for this one I couldn't resist, ( always loved old stuff !) and I already have it in my hands ! Looks like a mix between an old ottoman kalkan shield ( iron pieces and the handle ) and an indian dhal ! Maybe another ethnic origin ? It's made of thick leather ( which animal ?) and pieces of iron. 18th-19th century ? or earlier ? or just looks like old ? Anybody has an idea about the leather origin ? Kind regards |
