Shield (uncertain)

Model

Piece of flat light-colored wood, flaring from narrow bottom to broader top, with blunted point. One face thickening to median ridge, decorated top and bottom with zig-zag lines (single and double at top, double at bottom). Hollow carved out of middle of back, bridged by U-shaped piece of metal. Except for flat bottom edge, reminiscent of Dayak (Kenyah-Kayan) fighting shields. Possibly a miniature shield for a model longhouse.
