$29.98 Shipping Location: United States From what I've gathered. This shield is considered to be from the Amarro people in what is now Ethiopia. I have also seen it listed as Arussi- Gallo ... moreas well as Oromo. These were used from the late 19th to early 20th century. Not being an expert on African shields, this is up to you collectors to determine. After a good deal of research I believe that it is basically identical to several other shields created by these tribal people. Any comments or insights would be greatly appreciated! Here is a description I ran across on the Arusi-Gallo- Oromo people. The Galla. Also called the Oromo, are the largest, most widely dispersed people group in Ethiopia, and are composed of approximately a dozen tribal clusters. Migrating from the Horn of Africa, the Galla, or Oromo, arrived in Ethiopia four centuries ago. In the 1700-1800s they became a prominent force in Abyssinian(Ethiopian) politics. This shield is made of very thick. Heavy leather and is roughly 25 X 28 inches which I see is larger than most shields of this type. These shields were made of Hippo and or Rhino hide and are extremely well constructed. The face of the shield is in fantastic condition compared to those Ive seen.The whole shield is in essentially pristine shape. Its not all warped or slumped and doesnt have the often seen chunks missing on the edges. The leather is in completely sound condition and you can see that it has always been properly stored. It has beautifully created molded raised areas as well as a nice degree of decorative tooling or embossing.This shield is unusual in that in addition to the the heavy duty handle, which is in superb condition,it also has its complete, and still intact sinew structure that appears to be an" arm stabalizing sling" but I dont know for sure. Again, any info from you experts would be thrilling to get!

CONDITION Wood deterioration. Worn areas, chips and scrapes, overall condition good. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND Ethiopian headrests are named after the region where ... morethey are from. Where many groups make carved wooden headrests to enable people to sleep without interfering with their complicated coiffure. Hairstyles frequently declare their owner's age, gender and status, and are often embellished by accoutrements of a magic-religious nature. Hairstyles therefore need protecting. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art and had been profoundly influenced by it. Shortly afterwards I bought the Baule Fetish and the Baule bobbin which are still two of the finest pieces in my collection. It is easy to see why I bought them and why from that moment I have never stopped collecting. The head of the bobbin or heddle- pulley which is after all only a functional object for the purpose of weaving seemed to me then and today as beautiful as a Greek goddess. The fetish moved me as deeply as the bobbin by its silent tragic dignity and its air of profound meditation.
