Thank's for posting this image. This shield is very similar to one shield from my collection which I found on Halmahera but which isn't similar to all Halmahera shields I know.

Regards,

Detlef

Hi Detlef,

That's an interesting shield!
"Taste" like Celebes indeed....

It's a bit between the salawaku's and Celebes shields like the one on the image.
There were also salawaku's collected in Celebes which are now in museumcollections....
So why don't find a "cross over" shield in Halmahera? ;-)

Kind Regards,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,

yes, indeed. Have handled a few Celebes shields, they are different. My guess is that I have maybe a Ternate shield but never have seen one until now. This shield in question seems to very old which was also stated by the previous owner.

Best regards,

Detlef
