Not over till the fat lady sings!
She sings loudly now.
I have a copy of a journal. The art of war: Wola shield designs Paul Sillitoe University of Manchester Journ. Royal Anthropol. Inst. (MAN) 15 No. 3, 1980 I post the the most relevant pages. Here this type of shield is spelt "watumbiy" and I think the information will help us understand more what we see in this thread, unpainted but displaying heavy use. |

Adding to the controversy as too how recent these shields are, or are not. Look at the shield on the wall in the background of this informative video.

Just wanted to add this pic of the new shield with the one on the wall, as the one in the back ground featured in the Australian Museum video.

just adding as link no longer works
I know it is an old thread but as the link has stopped I am adding the picture of an unpainted shield. It lacks any patina which may indicate that it has not been used as a door or sleeping platform or been painted clean and repainted over a period of use??
