Massai shield

I don't think this is a Masai shield, but it certainly comes from the same neighbourhood they live (probably another tribe). The construction is fairly similar to a Masai shield (wooden framework, covered in hide).
And it's quite heavy (more than 2 kgs).

Size is 105 cm x 37 cm.

Thank you all very much for your help.

Freddy, that's really a great shield.
