Hello Willem

Don't you think that the character holding the shield looks a lot like the creatures on the Dayak Shields ?

Sorry,

I specifically wrote "shape of the shield"
The shape of the shield is the only thing that makes me think of dayak.
The decoration of the shield already does not look like dayak to me.

Best regards.

Hi Roy,
Not a clue as to origin, but maybe it is, as has been suggested above, a cage for insects. The Chinese kept crickets in little cages....maybe this is a similar idea from wherever it originates?

Thanks gents

We'll leave it as a cage for Large Fireflies unless something else turns up.

Bird catcher/cage? Dayaks (if it is Borneo) did collect feathers, right?
