Showing an Australian Aboriginal Parrying Shield. 25" long, 5.5" across middle, with a back deeply hand carved handle. I'm sorry. I don't know the region or age. This piece came to me from a collector of indiginous art from several continents: Americans. Africa, Canada and Australia. This parrying shield has carved and pyrography designs: Kangaroo. Emu and and overall design on the front and design appears on the back as well: appears to have an ocre colored wash. There is no varnish. Also. I don't think it's a hard wood. There is a ding on the upper tip and a small. 1/2" gouge on one front edge. The artwork is clean and color is strong. This is a wonderful decorative piece and I think for a collector of aboriginal art. A great addition to a collection. Please. If you have concerns or questions, email me! I'm ... morehappy to answer all questions as best as I can being that I know nothing about this type of art form. The shield weighs 1.5 pounds; it will require an oversized box.

Background: Shields such as this were used for both fighting and ceremonial purposes; A little known use was as camouflage while hunting- the dull. Fluted. Red ochre finish deliberately mimicked the red sand of the desert. Crouching behind the shield could hide the hunter from view and conceal his approach. SPECS. Size: 28 1/4" tall; 4 1/4" wide.

Dynamic Aboriginal Painted Shield - Eastern Kimberley W/A 1960's
This boldly painted shield was collected in the Eastern Kimberley in the 1960's. The face of the shield has an interlocking design painted with a mixture of paint and ochres. The layers of paint suggest this shield was used in ceremony several times. The thickness of the red paint is in contrast to the white pigment that looks to have painted over an orange ochre. The reverse has bands of carving and paintwork and a small section of engraved lines. This a compelling shield and photo's do not do it justice. It measures 75cm x 12.5cm. Registered Post within Australia will cost between $14US and $18US dependant on the postcode. Airmail to the US $36AU and anywhere in Europe $45AU
