A late 19th century to early 20th century Peurise Teguma, these were used by the Acehnese in their war against the Dutch colonial forces in the Aceh War starting in 1873. These shields are buckler size and would have originally been held using a rope handle and made using a casting method and finished with hand tools. This piece has a dented edge which has been reflected in the price but is otherwise in good condition.
This shield can be yours for £175 or best offer.
