Not until you mentioned it, lol.You nailed it again Sajen! I thought it to be African ,even though the hand holds on the shield didn't strike me as typical African. I had thoght about taking it to Baltimore, but now thanks to you, I'm keeping it;so much about getting older and letting some things go!
Are all of these shields this large;I imagine that it is made from Water Buffalo hide?
