Need help w/ Shield ID

Does anyone have any information on the shields place of origin?
Perhaps the carved design on top will help in identifying.
Shield is light, somewhat desiccated.
Length 32in., width 7in.
Thanks.

A recent find. Not really in my field, but I couldn’t walk away from the knife show without buying something.
I’m guessing it’s Indian based on the Makara(?).

Klewang or a Piso?

Looking through A. Van Z’s book, the closest match appears to be a Piso Sanalenggam. Is it?

If not should it be considered a variant of the klewang?

Help in ID’ing this knife(?)

Looks utilitarian to me. American made. I’ve inquired a Whaling Museum and they had no idea.
C. Wells & Sons were barn builders in the 19 - 20th cent.

Anyone knows what this was used for?

Very nice Sajen.
I have always like shell trumpets since I was young.
I have a similar Triton shell with the hole at the very end. I signaled the coming of the New Year a few nights ago with it.
