Ethiopian Amharic shield

Jim McDougall · Yesterday, 01:37 PM

Another item recently 'excavated' as I go through things, I have had for over 20 years but know little beyond the description noted. If I understand correctly these were primarily 'dress' type shields and status oriented and Amharic.
Any ideas on how this one might be dated?

Again, need the help of those of you specializing in these kinds of Ethiopian arms.

Anybody have photos of these in use?

Thank you guys,
Jim
