antique old 1800s Bontoc Austronesian Igorot tribal headhunters SHIELD artifact
Appears to be a genuine Igorot or Bortoc headhunters shield from the 1800s. I would say the condition is fair. Fully functional but does have a few cracks in the wood one crack is several inches long and may have been stained as I can see a few runs on the back side. Also has had a little bit of small worm holes. The worm holes are very small in diameter and are mostly only on the side edges. Has a lizard carved on the front. I've only seen one of these that has a lizard on it online and I think it sold for $3600. Please let me know if you have any info on this as I have not had it appraised YET but I hope to very soon! I will plastic wrap this and pack in peanuts and make a wood box for this to ship in and also pay for all the insurance. It will ship out FedEx Ground within 3 days from purchase.
