#1 THRU #5 PICTURES FROM A OLD BOOK, THE FOURTH PICTURE DOWN SHOWS TWO SHIELDS FRONT AND BACK. ONE PICTURE HAS 2 PHILIPPINE SHIELDS ALONG WITH 3 DAYAK SHIELDS.
#6 AND #7 OLDER SHIELD FRONT AND BACK
#8 THRU #10 OLDER DAYAK SHIELDS
#11 AND #12 I THINK ARE MORE RECENT.

#1. CIRC 1960'S DAYAK SHIELD
#2. EAST KALAMANTAN, 121 X 30 CM. HANDLE, #3. FRONT OF SHIELD.
#4. & #5. DAYAK SHIELD
#6. THRU #12. VARIOUS SHIELDS
I THINK THESE ARE MORE RECENT SHIELDS BUT SOME STILL MAY BE ANTIQUES BUT NOT FROM THE OLD TRADITIONAL HEADHUNTING DAYS. THE WORKMANSHIP IS VERY GOOD ON SOME OF THEM AND SOME CAN BE USED AS SHIELDS NOT JUST GOOD FOR WALL HANGERS.

MORE EXAMPLES OF THE MORE MODERN DAYAK SHIELDS

VANDOO · 29th August 2014, 08:59 PM

PICTURES #1 THRU #4 ARE MODERN SHIELDS DONE CLOSE TO TRADITIONAL FORM.
#5. THRU #12 ARE WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND PERHAPS LONGER. THEY ARE OFTEN IN SHIELD FORM BUT ARE MORE ART THAN SHIELD OFTEN CARVED WITH PIERCED DESIGNS. THE CARVING IS WELL DONE BUT THE WOOD USED IS NOT THE SAME AS USED FOR A REAL SHIELD IT IS HEAVIER AND DARKER. THEY DO MAKE GOOD WALL HANGERS AND IF YOU LIKE WOOD CARVING THEY ARE NICE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE CARVING THEM.

HERE ARE A FEW MORE OF THE WALL ART CARVINGS AND THE LAST PICTURE IS OF A FANTASY SHIELD COMING OUT OF KALAMANTAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY CURRENT BACKLOG OF INFORMATION ON DAYAK SHIELDS UNTIL I CAN GET MORE PICTURES. PERHAPS SOME OF YOU CAN ADD TO THE REFERENCE OR CORRECT ME WHERE I HAVE GONE WRONG.
