I looked at all the photo's I have of shields (my computerdatabase, museum databases, books etc.), but I can't find a similar shield like Arjan's.

However I have found a little similarity of the "spiderlike" things that are painted on both ends of the shield.
It is in the book of A.R. Hein, page 209, Fig.25.
And also in the same book, page 212, Fig. 30.
Those shields depicted there are from southeast Borneo.
Sorry, I have no time left to take photos of the plates in the book at the moment.

There is also a motif that looks like a row of eyes, like in this thread.
