Note also that there are two different types of shields in the picture...one narrow one, among the larger rectangular ones. |

Thai shields & spears from a Thai palace...I think you will especial like these next photos, Charles...
       There you go...  Last one is pretty similar to the one you have...I see some Chinese influence.. Chinese coins in the middle bottom of the last photo.As you can see your's Charles is in fantastic condition compared to the above. Last edited by Nathaniel; 10th September 2010 at 02:18 PM. |

I think this just continues to confirm our original theory that the shield is Thai.
Thanks for the terrific pics!! |
