FON
SHIELD 15
12.5" wide x 13.5" deep x 4.75" high
$100
Republic of Benin

This shield has been vetted as authentic.

This shield is unusual in that the center projection, normally woven, has been replced with a leather wrap filled with a wooden plug. Since the rest of the shield is similar to the others, this is probably a repair.
