Nice looking shield. But i'm not sure if it is moro. The handles appear to be a later addition (the original ones probably broken off?)

Yeah, I was looking at that one too, not to buy (hahaha..money ...

). Part of the small decore does look Moro, but based on the pictures and examples of Moro shields I have seen, the rays of the sun (if that is what this decoration is) are much larger and prominent. Maybe it is from Borneo, though not Dayak.
