My best guess is that the shield is AFAR/DANAKIL from the ISSA tribe. So you are most likely narrowing down its origin to the former French Somalia. Probably Gibuti. Very nice piece.

Thank you very much Roa
 So maybe is better to display this shield more with a kaskara than with a gurade or a shotel? RegardsFlavio |

Flavio, I would say that the shield should be displayed with a GILE. I do not believe Kaskaras were used that far South along the Red Sea coast.
