BANTU, HAND SHIELDS, Dem. Rep. of Congo
In traditional Africa, shields were used not only as defensive weapons, but also as decorative or ritual objects filled with symbolic meaning. They can be carved from wood, woven, made from a variety of hides and even metal.
We recommend African Warriors by Thomasin Magor (Abrams). We have copies for sale at $35.
