Drac2k and Sajen, the shield I posted is closer to this Borneo example from the Smithsonian Institute, than Erik’s Tengpai.
The Borneo shield is smaller in diameter, I believe their Chinese cousins, from what I have observed are significantly larger. The “B” shield is flat while the Tengpai has a domed front. The darker rattan colors on my shield is dyed not painted, similar to the rattan weavings on a Mandau. With this I tend to believe my shield is from Borneo. The estate that I obtained my shield from had several items from Borneo as well. Here are 2 items (any idea what they are? ),that I acquired from the same estate. I’m not aware of their age. |
