Very nice patina. I guess it can turn out this way if it is not cleaned for 100 years.

What is the diameter + weight ?

Uhm.... You know the answer by now. Best regards, Maurice

John, this shield looks too old. Besides, the fabric isn't complete, you better send this shield to me!

Me neither.

PS I think it is a very rare version of Aceh shield. Never have seen any of these in a private collection, and it has a higher outer rim as the normal brass shields.

Look at the image of the Colonial Institute Amsterdam. You can see similar peurises with higher rim hanging on the wall..

Maybe it's a good idea to post my peurise nilo here.

Interesting shield Detlef.
I had one too, but the hide was much rougher as yours. I will look if I still find a photo of mine.
How is the hide tightened on the shield?

Thank you for posting Willem. Nice reference to have next to the shield (for the one who owns it as it isn't me anymore, it left me a long time ago).
