:D:D

Now I understand!

Ah, it's a (rotan) peurise awe, covered with leather instead of fabric.
Thank you! When I bid on it years ago I thought it's a peurise teumaga and painted black. I was surprised when I hold it in my hands. :D

Yes, it is a peurise awe, according Kreemer covered with red or black fabric.
But I guess you can call this one also peurise nilô, because of the hide cover?

Yours look very special!

Oh yes, Detlef! This unique shield is a real treasure!

Just got this larger type of peurise awe, which I think is indicating it is probably a Gayo shield.
It has a diameter of 600 mm.

Hello Maurice,

What a monster peurise awe! :eek: And a beauty on top of everything! :cool:

Thank you Detlef.

Here some photos next to a 'normal sized' peurise awe.

Hi Maurice,

It has a similar diameter like my tamua shield from Sumba! :eek:
Great shield you have there!

Regards,
Detlef

Hi Detlef,

What a wonderful Sumba shield :eek:

Looks like it has a lovely patina also...

Regards,
Maurice

Thanks Maurice! :) Yes, the leather shows a good old patination. Got it years ago by a trade with Arjan.

Detlef

Supernice, and very rare!
How does the back of the shield looks like?

Regards,
Maurice

Here you go!

Thank you for showing!
Very nice with the original old handles still there. :cool:

Thanks again Maurice! They are indeed very rare, I haven't seen one for sale for a very long time.

Detlef

This somewhat in front over polished early (I think) peurise teumaga will enter the collection soon.

Post Deleted!

Hi Detlef,

Congratulations!
Pretty rare to find a peurise 'Teumaga' with round knobs and one 'star' in the middle. Though the central knob in the middle looks more like a round knob with a kind of 'gear wheel' around it.
I found a similar with a central star and round knobs placed around, which will be in my collection soon. I'll add photos when it arrived for comparison.

Normally there are 4 (or more) 'brass rings' at the backside for the handle attachment?

Regards,
Maurice

Thanks Maurice,

Curious to see your one! ;) The two ring attachment lets me think first that it isn't a peurise! :D

Best regards,
Detlef

Here it is, just arrived!

Very nice with the original handle and hand protection. What's the diameter?

Regards,
Detlef

The diameter is about 30,2 cm.

Regards,
Maurice

Thanks Maurice, my new one has an approx. diameter from 29 cm.

Hi Maurice,

very nice shield. Great to find the handle and cushion intact. + an old label.

Hi Willem,

Thank you. I like the rattan version, the 'peurise awe', more from an artistic point of view. But that the handle and cushion are both still present, was the deciding factor for me buying it.
I personally never have seen one (peurise Teumaga) so complete before.

Kind regards,
Maurice

here is a small peurise that I recently found.

Also very nice Willem. What is the diameter?

diameter approx 31 cms

Almost same size
