The answer to your question is that these two shield come from very different places. The one on the left with the more crescent shape is from the Madang area of the North Coast while the rough cut one is from the Southern Highlands

Sadly I have to tell you that Bill Eavans, the publicator of "War Art & Ritual" deceased at Valentins Day after a long fight!
I was in contact with him over several years, rest in peace Bill!

Sad news.

I traded a Bagobo shield for this large Moro shield, with Bill many years ago.

Bill bought several shields over the years from me, one he has published in his publication.
