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.

Flavio. I found this picture in the AFRICAN SHIELDS by ZIRNGIBL. Guess it will help. Ciao, Roano

I was just going to add that a spear is most likely carried. I also think if you had one of those German light cavalry swords made for Abyssinia would be okay to put with it.

Ciao Roano
, thank you very much. The shield that you show is very similar, thanks a lot. Tim, maybe your somali shield on swap forum is better with a kaskara?

Hi Tim. I do not agree with your suggestion. All the pictures I have seen of Afar/Danakil warriors show them carrying (aside from rifles...) shield, spear and gile. No swords. Unless one considers the gile a short sword. Cheers, RON
