Peurise Teumaga (this one good)

Flavio · 13th April 2007, 03:52 PM

Hi all, finally I have found a good one!! A dear friend of mine told me that in his opinion these shields, even if old, were maybe done for tourists. What's your opinion? there is anyone that can show an old picture where we can see an Aceh warrior with this kind of Peurise? Thank you

P.s. ah the "handle" is a my masterpiece

All Perurise Teumaga are made of brass or bronze. One of rattan would be a peurise awe.

A Peurise is a small round Aceh shield. They are then divided by what they are made of.

Peurise Awe - Peurise made of rattan

Peurise Kajee - a Peurise made of wood

Peurise Nilo - a Peurise made of buffalo hide

Peurise Paru - a Peurise made of stingray

Peurise Teumaga - Peurise made of bronze or brass

( referenced from Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipeligo )

Flavio thats a great example, congratulations. You may want to look in the book Blanke Wapen ( I will double check the spelling on that I may have it wrong ) or at the Collection in the KIT for more pictures of these.
