Maybe it's a good idea to post my peurise nilo here.

And here my ratan shield.

Thank you! But the real treasure is the peurise nilo, it's a leather shield, the only known one out from a museum, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=Peurise

Oh yes, Detlef! This unique shield is a real treasure!

Just got this larger type of peurise awe, which I think is indicating it is probably a Gayo shield.
It has a diameter of 600 mm.

Interesting shield Detlef.
I had one too, but the hide was much rougher as yours. I will look if I still find a photo of mine.
How is the hide tightened on the shield?

Hi Maurice,

It's a quite heavy shield with 1884 gram, pure leather, very thick, old and shows holes from bullets or spears, see the pics. Diameter approx. 40 cm. The leather is very hard and polished and cracked on the surface. It was once a real bargain from an auction house in Amsterdam, together with a very nice Dayak paddle. Last pic show one of the holes from the back.

Regards,
Detlef

WOW!

What a shield. And it had some action too!
It's a beauty.
I only found one photo on my computer of the one that was mine. The photo is quit bad also, but here it is.....

Ah, it's a (rotan) peurise awe, covered with leather instead of fabric.
Thank you! When I bid on it years ago I thought it's a peurise teumaga and painted black. I was surprised when I hold it in my hands.

Thank you for posting Willem. Nice reference to have next to the shield (for the one who owns it as it isn't me anymore, it left me a long time ago).

Now I understand!
