Dimensions are about 16.5 x 30 inches.

One piece of wood. This is from an old collection also, like the bone armor. Could be authentic, could be tourist.

Comments?

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING FROM THE PICTURES THAT RAISE ANY ALARM FLAGS IT LOOKS OLD TO ME. I GOT ONE OF THESE A WHILE BACK MINE HAS SOME TERMITE DAMMAGE AND IS NOT LARGE BUT THEY WERE CEREMONIAL AND NOT BATTLE SHIELDS FROM WHAT I READ. I JUST LIKED THE LOOK OF IT AND THIS TYPE WAS ON THE COVER OF MY SHIELD BOOK, NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL REASONS FOR GETTING ONE BUT THEN I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL.
