Africa : “great Masaï Shield”
Africa: “Large Masaï shield”, painted buffalo skin on wooden frame and handle, 98 x 57 cm. Circa 1900/1920. Slightly powdery paint (washed?), slightly relaxed frame. Thanks to the precious book on shields from the Barbier-Mueller Collection, I found the origin of this spectacular shield. If I am not very fond of weapons, I like the shields that I buy regularly, their incredible variety making them a superb collectible theme and magnificent decorative objects... Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or telephone. Other photos and many other objects in our stores in Pau and Biarritz and on our site: galerielhoste.com.
