Hi Ben,

Quote:

Hi Willem to me I think this was the only type off brass shield that
was also in Use for fighting .
The other brass ones more ceremonial and some made for tourist

.

As this type of shield is quite rare, this would suggest that people in Aceh where rather peacefull

Ps. I found a picture of the one that was on sale last jan 2007.
Looks a lot alike. doesn't it?

Best regards,
Willem
