Default unusual Peurise Teumaga for comment

This somewhat unusual peurise teumaga will come soon to my collection. It seems original black lacquered in front and back, something I never have seen before. Does anyone have seen something similar before? Three stars are damaged and it is 39 cm in diameter.
Looking forward to your comments, thank you in advance!

It's a typical Indian lacquered hide-work, apparently embellished in Aceh.

Hello Oliver,
thank you for comment. I don't think that the corpus is from hide, here a part of the description from the auction house: "Aceh, black lacquered brass circular shield, mounted with seven star shaped ornament."
Also when auction house descriptions sometimes inexact I think that they would be able to distinguish between hide and metal!?

Regards,
Detlef

Oliver was partly correct, the peurise is indeed made from leather, so it is a rare peurise nilo!
Have hoped that Willem, Maurice or Albert chime in but sadly not until now!
I can't find any pictures from other peurise nilo and I think that this shields are very rare. Is someone able to provide pictures for comparison?

Hello Albert,
thank you very much! It's a very heavy item and at the first glance I thought that it is indeed a painted peurise teumaga but by closer inspection you can see that it's a hide shield.

Best regards,
Detlef
