Nice shields. Here are some members (Willem, Maurice and Eric for example) who will be able to tell you more about them.

Thanks Detlef.
I really like them, I've been looking for either some of these or Dhals to adorn my walls

I actually don't know too much about these. They are not as commonplace as Dhals, and I'm not sure which types are rarer or what would constitute a 'good' one.

Hopefully the other chaps will tell us more, Maurice are you still tonline tonight?

Best

Hi Gene,

so far I know are the more plain ones like Maurice and Willem shown in this thread :http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=peurise
are the older ones and I know that they are a lot more expensive. I have one like you have and a wooden one but still look for examples like Maurice show in this thread. Special a wooven one I like to have one day.
Hope this was from some help, in the thread there are written some interesting informations as well.

Regards,

Detlef

Hi Gene,

I only can tell you my own findings about these shields, when I did a little research for my own on these shields.

In the real old museumcollections, the brass shields from Aceh are all very plain, and besides the knobs, at the most a few rings or even nothing as decoration.
Also the brass Aceh shields within private collections with provenance of being pre 1900, are all plain and not that heavily decorated...

When you see these decorated brass shields in museumcollections, the earliest were collected in the first half of the 20th century (mostly the latter part of the first half even), or even the last half of the 20th century.
So some of these more decorated shields have nice old patina though.
A senior collector ones told me they are minangkabau shields...

Hope this is a bit usefull,
Maurice
