It's a typical Indian lacquered hide-work, apparently embellished in Aceh.

thank you for comment. I don't think that the corpus is from hide, here a part of the description from the auction house: "Aceh, black lacquered brass circular shield, mounted with seven star shaped ornament." Also when auction house descriptions sometimes inexact I think that they would be able to distinguish between hide and metal!?  Regards, Detlef |

Oliver was partly correct, the peurise is indeed made from leather, so it is a rare peurise nilo!
Have hoped that Willem, Maurice or Albert chime in but sadly not until now!    I can't find any pictures from other peurise nilo and I think that this shields are very rare. Is someone able to provide pictures for comparison? |

Peurise nilo
Congrats with your very rare acquisition!
I found (only) one example of a peurise nilo. It is in the collection of the Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen Coll. nr. RV-1599-646. Materials: hide of a water buffalo, brass, copper Diameter: 41 cm |

thank you very much! It's a very heavy item and at the first glance I thought that it is indeed a painted peurise teumaga but by closer inspection you can see that it's a hide shield. Best regards, Detlef |

Hello Detlef,
I missed out on that one. I heard it was a complete give away for such a rare shield. Looks good and genuine to me. The first one I ever see outside the example Albert posted. Congratulations ! If you ever want to part with it..... Best regards, Willem |

Hello Willem,
Thank you.  Yes, it was a bargain and I was surprised that I got it for the starting price. Others maybe don't bid because 3 of the stars are damaged.When I ever want to part with it I will contact you first. Best regards, Detlef |
