I believe many indeed most of the members here are "SEA" collectors in some way. All I have been able to find is that the hornbill and other birds, I think the birds on the shield resemble hornbills? are part of SEA art and culture. So too are lizards and some suff about dogs. The only other information comes from "Albert G. Van Zonneveld, Traditional Weapons Of The Indonesian Archipelago" where in the pages for shield round carvec wooden shields are mentioned. Origins could be from several places.
