About this item
A very large buffalo hide Masai shield. This is an early example not a tourist souvenir the inside has been roughly painted with a description " masia sigrate tr ". The shield itself has a cut that can only have been caused by a spear. I would consider this to date from around 1860 it's got a great age patina and feel. A rare original item
